The ammunition found near the weapon that was used to fatally shoot conservative activist Charlie Kirk bears “transgender” and “anti-fascist” messaging. Unnamed law enforcement officials made the claim after the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that agents recovered a bolt-action rifle, stating that it was used to murder Kirk.
Kirk, who was known for his support for President Donald Trump and opposition to the “woke” agenda, was shot in the neck during a public debate at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Kirk was rushed to the hospital, but succumbed shortly thereafter.
Kirk was oddly answering a question about transgender shooters when he was fatally shot during the event. ABC News cited anonymous sources as claiming that three unspent cartridges found with the alleged murder weapon bore “transgender and anti-fascist” messages. According to the outlet, the firearm in question is an “older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle.”
The spent cartridge was still chambered, and three unspent cartridges contained wording on them expressing what some law enforcement officials described as “transgender and anti-fascist” writing, according to preliminary information shared with agencies. It’s unclear what that means, and authorities are still working to determine the meaning or whether the markings were intended as misdirection for investigators. –ABC News
Ammunition inside the rifle was engraved with messages of transgender and antifascist ideology, the Wall Street Journal reported, according to a report by The Telegraph UK.
Is this all just another coincidence? Yesterday, we reported on Kirk being threatened by a Ukrainian transgender woman, pondering if he would be murdered for refusing to support Ukraine’s side of the war.
