The New York Times reported the shooter acted alone:

Jeff Long, the police chief at Utah Valley University, where the shooting took place, says there were roughly 3,000 people attending Charlie Kirk’s event and that the university’s police department had six officers working security.

Gov. Spencer Cox said authorities believe the person of interest acted alone. “At this point, there is no information that would lead us to believe that there is a second person involved,” he said.

Gov. Spencer Cox says the “person of interest in custody” is being interviewed by the authorities, but he declined to say more about that person. The F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, had posted on social media minutes earlier that the subject “that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody.”
