An internal email from an ATF officer obtained by conservative commentator Steven Crowder reveals that a Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle, along with cartridges, was discovered in the woods near Utah Valley University, where TPUSA Founder Charlie was tragically assassinated.

The email further revealed the cartridges had engravings of words expressing “transgender and anti-fascist ideology” on them.

According to the internal email, “An emergency trace has been submitted, and an ATF SLC is working on leads generated by the trace. The firearm and ammunition have been taken by the FBI for DNA analysis and fingerprint impressions.”

Per the internal email obtained by Crowder:

“On September 10, 2025, at approximately 12:24PM, Conservative political influencer Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at the Utah Valley University in Orem, UT. Mr. Kirk was speaking at the University as part of the American Comeback Tour. Multiple SLC I and III agents responded immediately.

The suspect fired one shot from an elevated position on a rooftop in an adjacent building on the campus and surveillance video shows the suspect, jumping off and fleeing the area on foot. ATF and other law-enforcement located an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus. The location of the firearm appears to match the suspects route of travel.

The spent cartridge was still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds at the top fed magazine. All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology. An emergency trace has been submitted an ATF SLC is working leads generated by the trace. The firearm and ammunition have been taken by the FBI for DNA analysis and fingerprint impressions.

Upon completion of forensics, the firearm will be disassembled for additional importer information. Multiple people of interest having contacted or detained because of eyewitness testimony and review of video footage. The primary suspect is yet to be identified.

ATF is assisting the investigation with multiple other federal, state, and local partners and the case is co-led by the FBI and Utah SBI.””

The internal email matches the previous report by FBI agent Beau Mason, who shared that a “high-powered bolt action rifle” was found in the woods near where the shooting took place.
