Charlie Kirk was shot by a shooter located on the roof of the Losee Center building, which was about 130 to 175 meters (approximately 140 to 190 yards) away from where Kirk was speaking at Utah Valley University. This distance was confirmed by multiple analyses including video and audio evidence, suggesting the shooter had a direct line of sight to Kirk and fired from a rooftop position roughly 140 meters from the podium where Kirk was seated. The shot was taken with a high-powered, bolt-action rifle from this substantial distance.
