***See below for live updates. All times Pacific.***

8:27 p.m.: Students at Texas Tech and Liberty U held vigils today to honor Charlie Kirk and pray for his family.

8:19 p.m.: The FBI has provided a tipline for the public to submit any information, photos, or videos that can help with the investigation.

“The FBI is working alongside our local and state law enforcement partners in Utah to fully investigate and seek justice in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Anyone with information, photos, and video from the incident can help the FBI identity more answers by sharing the files here,” the statement on X reads.

“We have full resources devoted to this investigation, including tactical, operational, investigative and intelligence,” Special Agent Robert Bohls of the FBI’s Salt Lake City office said in a statement attached to the X post.

7:40 p.m.: Time magazine’s latest cover is a photo of today’s assassination scene with the headline “Enough.”

7:36 p.m.: Variety reports that MSNBC has fired political analyst Matthew Dowd due to the horrible on-air comments he made today when news broke that Charlie Kirk had been shot.

MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler issued a statement earlier apologizing for Dowd’s comments, which she described as “inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable.”

7:25 p.m.: In yet another reminder of that evil exists in this world, the vile feminist website Jezebel paid witches to put a curse on Charlie Kirk just two days before he was assassinated.

“If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares,” an article on Jezebel stated on Monday. “Are you interested in punishing Kirk for the years of regressive rhetoric he’s shouted at America’s youth and anyone within earshot? Here at Jezebel, we’re about to find out if there’s a spell for that.”

It’s clear from the article that they target Kirk because he was a devout Christian and an unapologetic supporter of the pro-life movement. He was also a vocal critic of the toxic and destructive feminist ideology espoused by Jezebel.

During a recent episode on The Charlie Kirk Show, Kirk encouraged his Evangelical listeners to embrace the Virgin Mary as a solution to “toxic feminism.”

“I believe that one of the ways that we fix toxic feminism in America is Mary is the solution,” he said.

From Tanner Maxwell’s vantage point behind the tent under which Mr. Kirk was speaking at Utah Valley University, he couldn’t see or hear as well as he wanted to, he said in a phone interview.

He moved to get a better view of the crowd in order to take a video to show his friends. As he pulled his phone out to start filming, he heard a single gunshot. His video, which begins immediately after the shot, captures people dropping to the ground or running for cover.

The Times also analyzed this video taken before the fatal shooting, which appears to show an person laying on the roof of the building where the shooter would have been:
