The FBI found the rifle suspected to have been used to kill conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

An informed source revealed that investigators found this package containing an old-fashioned imported Mauser bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel in the wooded area near the campus, which is along the route where the gunman fled. There was also a spent shell casing in the chamber, with three bullets remaining in the magazine. The rifle has now been handed over to the FBI for DNA and fingerprint analysis.
