EXCLUSIVE – Video from one witness to the assassination of Charlie Kirk shows people dropping to the ground as the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder was shot at a speaking event on Wednesday.

Kirk was shot during an event on Wednesday hosted by TPUSA at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. A university spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital that Kirk was taken to a local hospital in critical condition but later died.

Two separate individuals were detained and questioned by law enforcement and were later released. The FBI released two images of a person of interest on Thursday, which depict a male wearing jeans, a black shirt with an American flag graphic, a hat and black sunglasses. A $100,000 reward is being offered for information leading authorities to a suspect.

We are asking for the public's help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.

Lexi Langley, a recent graduate of Brigham Young University, told Fox News Digital people immediately dropped to the ground after the shot was fired.

"I didn't know that he had been shot at the time. And everyone kind of dropped to the ground," Langley said. "I was preparing to hear more shots because I thought maybe this was a mass shooting. It didn't cross my mind that it would have been an assassination attempt."
