"And they were like, ‘we’re going to put you at the front of the line.’ I was like ‘cool!’ I was like, ‘this is awesome. I’m going to get to talk to Charlie Kirk first, first person.’ I thought I would be able to kind of set the mood for the LDS folk that I was fixing to represent at the UVU campus."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Henry Dells, Charlie Kirk shooting witness:
"Basically I came up, I told him that Charlie, ‘I love you. We agree on a lot of things, but I found something that I know we disagree on. I propose that Mormonism was historically more theologically correct than Protestantism with their dogmas and theology.’ And that was the question. We then went into a whole bunch of stuff."

"It was less than a minute after we’d got done talking. It might have been a minute, a little bit more or a little bit less. But it was very quick. I was talking to a Deseret News girl, looked up because I heard a crack. Sounded like a fire cracker, looked to my right, saw Charlie, and saw a whole bunch of blood just gushing out of his neck. I could tell from when I saw it, he wasn’t going to make it."

STORYLINE:
The shooter who assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk and then vanished off a roof and into the woods remained at large more than 24 hours later Thursday as federal investigators appealed for the public’s help by releasing photos of the person they believe is responsible.
Investigators obtained clues, including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled. But they had yet to name a suspect or cite a motive in the killing they were treating as the latest act of political violence to convulse the United States across the ideological spectrum.
The photos of a person in a hat, sunglasses and a long-sleeve black shirt, with a backpack, as well as a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest suggested that law enforcement thought tips from the public might be needed to crack the case. Two people who were taken into custody shortly after Wednesday’s shooting at Utah Valley University were later released, forcing officials to chase new leads on a separate person of interest they pursued Thursday.
