The law enforcement response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah stands out as unusually slow and disorganized when placed against the backdrop of prior high-profile shootings. In many cases, authorities identified and neutralized suspects within minutes or hours, often under similarly chaotic circumstances. For example, in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was located and killed by U.S. Secret Service counter-snipers only 16 seconds after he began firing eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. See Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, WIKIPEDIA (last visited Sept. 11, 2025). Likewise, during the 2017 Congressional baseball shooting in Alexandria, Virginia, Capitol Police and local officers exchanged fire with James T. Hodgkinson for roughly ten minutes before he was shot and died later that day; police on the scene identified him almost immediately. See Congressional Baseball Shooting, WIKIPEDIA (last visited Sept. 11, 2025). These precedents demonstrate a consistent pattern of rapid identification and engagement with perpetrators in the midst of politically sensitive attacks.
By contrast, in the Kirk assassination, more than twelve hours elapsed without even a named suspect in custody, despite thousands of witnesses, video evidence showing a figure on the roof of the Losee Center fleeing immediately after the gunshot, and a national law-enforcement presence mobilized on site. ...
