Utah dispatch audio reveals the frantic moments after an unidentified assassin fatally shot conservative speaker and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on a college campus Wednesday afternoon.The call came in around 12:20 p.m. about 20 minutes into Kirk's "American Comeback Tour" appearance at Utah Valley University, according to school officials. He had been invited to speak by the campus' chapter of TPUSA.A dispatcher said a single individual had been shot, and it was "unknown where the shooter went."VIDEO SHOWS MOMENTS BEFORE ASSASSINATION OF TURNING POINT USA FOUNDER CHARLIE KIRK"Be advised, UVU in Orem has had an active shooter at the Charlie Kirk event. We're getting several calls. I'm trying to get more information.""They requesting help?" a man's voice replied."We're not sure yet," she said. "We're just trying to get units that way."Police were already on scene. So was a private security team hired by Kirk, which helped rush him to the hospital. He was the only reported injury.VIGILS HELD ACROSS US AFTER ASSASSINATION OF CHARLIE KIRK: 'WE MUST HEAL'Later, dispatchers discussed a suspect description."Hes going to be wearing all black, black long gun, black tactical helmet, a black mask, possibly wearing a tactical vest and jeans," a female dispatcher said over the radio, according to recordings.Police initially took a man named George Zinn into custody, charged him with obstruction and released him. A second person of interest, identified as Zachariah Qureshi, was also taken into custody, questioned and released.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRKSUSPECT IN CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTING: WHAT WE KNOW AND DON'T KNOW AT THIS HOUR"There are no current ties to the shooting with either of these individuals," a Utah Department of Public Safety spokeswoman said in a statement. "There is an ongoing investigation and manhunt for the shooter."The manhunt remained active Thursday morning. Investigators said Thursday morning that they traced the sniper's escape route and recovered a "high-powered, bolt-action rifle."Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was sitting under a tent, debating with students on hot-button current affairs issues, when the unidentified killer opened fire.A single gunshot cracked through the air, according to videos of the event. Witnesses screamed in horror and fled for cover after the bullet struck Kirk in the neck. He was rushed to a hospital and later pronounced dead.Other video circulating online appears to show a dark-clad figure on a rooftop. Authorities said the gunshot came from about 200 yards away, likely from a perch atop the Losee Center building, which is on the opposite side of the plaza from where Kirk was speaking."It's going to be basic police work here," said David Katz, a former DEA special agent and the CEO of Global Security Group. "They should be pulling every cellphone ping from that small geographic area."He said Utah investigators would also be looking back at surveillance video for weeks to see if anyone accessed the same rooftop."They need to be focused on mechanisms of escape," he said. "Every single car in the area. I imagine he didn't get away on public transportation in Utah, so it's got to be a vehicle. After the shot, it would have taken seconds for him to get down. I don't know if he discarded the gun, but it would have been a simple matter of changing your shirt and leaving the area quickly."

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo hosted a press conference days before the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, where speakers criticized Zohran Mamdani for associating with a Twitch streamer who once declared, "America deserved 9/11."Steps from Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, Cuomo stood alongside Sal Tururici, a longtime Fire Department of New York City (FDNY) emergency medical technician (EMT) and 9/11 first responder who was later diagnosed with terminal cancer."I am calling on Zohran Mamdani to disavow Hasan Piker and his hateful words. His association with Hasan Piker disqualifies him to serve in any role for New York City, let alone one as important as mayor," Tururici's wife, Wendi, who became an EMT following 9/11, said during Tuesday's press conference.The Cuomo campaign displayed posters of Mamdani and Piker posing together from earlier this year, as well as an image of Piker from his Twitch stream, where he claimed in 2019 that "America deserved 9/11."MAMDANI, CUOMO CLASH OVER WHO IS BETTER AT SUPPORTING LAW ENFORCEMENT AFTER MANHATTAN MASS SHOOTINGThe Mamdani campaign responded in a statement, "Andrew Cuomo knows exactly what hes doing. Hes holding a press conference to suggest that Zohran Mamdani who is poised to become New Yorks first Muslim mayor somehow supported 9/11. Its vile, its dangerous, and its deliberate."ADAMS, CUOMO TRADE JABS IN INTERVIEWS AS DEMS-TURNED-INDEPENDENTS COURT ANTI-MAMDANI VOTEThe Mamdani campaign argued that Cuomo has "used Muslims as convenient punching bags for decades.""New Yorkers can see this for what it is a cynical attempt to recycle the ugliest playbook in our politics. Cuomo is not protecting the memory of 9/11 victims; hes once again desecrating it by weaponizing grief and pain for his own ambition," the campaign added.Piker himself echoed the Mamdani campaign's rebuttal during his livestream on Tuesday, Mediaite reported."These guys are incredibly desperate, and theyll get even more racist as the election nears," Piker said, arguing that Cuomo is "leaning on Islamophobia."Piker has attempted to clarify his comments since they went viral in 2019, acknowledging it was "inappropriate." But Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., cited Piker's comments in a letter to Twitch executives last year, urging them to "stop popularizing those who popularize antisemitism."After Mamdani appeared on Piker's Twitch stream earlier this year, he told Politico, "I am willing to speak to each and every person about this campaign, and Ive said that from the beginning."Cuomo did not address Piker's comments directly during Tuesday's press conference, but Wendi Tururici said Mamdani's association with Piker is not just politics, but "life and death."The Tururici family endorsed Cuomo's New York City mayoral campaign on Tuesday."This is not just politics, this is personal,"Cuomo said. "Sals story is a reminder of why this work matters. Those benefits saved lives and honored sacrifice. Leadership is about life and death, protecting New Yorkers, doing the hard work, and delivering when it matters most."Cuomo's press conference was hosted just eight weeks before Election Day, as The New York Times/Siena College poll conducted from Sept. 26 and released Tuesday morning revealed that the former governor is trailing Mamdani by 22 points.The Cuomo campaign also confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday two new hires in the final sprint to Election Day veteran Democratic campaign strategist Greg Goldner and Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher.

FIRST ON FOX: A bipartisan group of lawmakers from the House Homeland Security Committee is visiting Ground Zero in New York City to commemorate the 24th anniversary of 9/11 on Thursday, Fox News Digital has learned.New York remains in terrorism's crosshairs, and members from the House Homeland Security Committee have sounded the alarm on potential threats the U.S. continues to face especially as the U.S. gears up to host upcoming large-scale events like the FIFA World Cup next year.Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, will lead a cohort of lawmakers on the committee to visit Ground Zero on Thursday, according to a committee aide. The lawmakers are also slated to lay flowers at the memorial before thanking first responders, and also participate in a staff-led tour of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum on Thursday evening.TRUMP ADMIN REINSTATES 9/11 SURVIVORS PROGRAM STAFF FOLLOWING HHS REORGANIZATION PLAN"Twenty-four years later, its critical to remember that [the Department of Homeland Security] and the Committee on Homeland Security were created in the aftermath of one of the darkest days in our nations history," Garbarino said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "As a lifelong New Yorker and a proud Long Islander, Never Forget is about more than remembrance; it is a call to action that guides my work every day, and it will continue to guide the Committees.""More than two decades later, our nation still faces heightened and evolving threats from foreign terrorist organizations and homegrown violent extremists, and New York remains a top terror target," Garbarino said.The Justice Departments research and technology agency, the National Institute of Justice, determined in 2023 that New York City had the highest number of attempted or actual terror incidents in the country.Members of the committee have spearheaded legislation seeking to address these persistent terrorist threats. For example, Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, reintroduced legislation in February known as the Countering Online Radicalization and Terrorism Act, which would require DHS to conduct assessments each year evaluating the threat terrorist groups like ISIS and Hamas pose to the U.S. through the use of foreign cloud-based mobile or desktop messaging applications.TRUMP TO ATTEND YANKEES GAME IN NEW YORK ON 24TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 ATTACKSOther lawmakers from the committee expected to attend the site visit to Ground Zero are the committees top Democrat, Bennie Thompson from Mississippi, as well as Reps. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, Ryan Mackenzie, R-Pa., LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., Tim Kennedy, D-N.Y., and Puerto Ricos resident commissioner, Pablo Jos Hernndez.A bipartisan group of committee members will also visit the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held. Members from the White Houses FIFA World Cup Task Force, including New York City Mayor Rudy Giulianis son, Andrew Giuliani, will also join the lawmakers to examine security preparations for the event, according to a committee aide. Andrew Giuliani is leading the White Houses task force.President Donald Trump will mark the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks at the Pentagon by delivering remarks at the annual observance ceremony. He will also attend a private memorial led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine honoring the 184 victims.TRUMP ANNOUNCES KENNEDY CENTER AS FIFA WORLD CUP DRAW VENUE WHILE PRAISING DC CRIME CRACKDOWNDHS is coordinating securing the games for the World Cup, along with other upcoming events like the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and the U.S. 250th anniversary in 2026. Meanwhile, the House Homeland Securitys Committee Task Force on Special Events is providing oversight of these security efforts."This important meeting will help inform the Committees ongoing efforts to ensure DHS can help keep Americans and visitors safe during upcoming international events on U.S. soil, including the 2028 Olympics," Garbarino said. "America can never again be caught off guard by its enemies."

CC Sabathias journey into the National Baseball Hall of Fame was filled with trials and tribulations along the way, including his ride up to Cooperstown.The Sabathia family his wife, Amber, and four children, Carsten, Jaeden Arie, Cyia, and Carter were spotted on the side of a highway with their car broken down. Thanks to the Hall of Fame pitcher, the moment was captured with a quick family selfie."Any time the six of us are traveling, probably something is going to happen," Sabathia told Fox News Digital with a laugh at Alpine Country Club in New Jersey on Tuesday. "Somebodys going to cancel a flight, were going to miss some luggage. So, we have a group chat and its called, Strong as a unit, and its as long as were all together, we can get through anything. Our car broke down on the way to Cooperstown. I took a picture, a snapshot of like how our family dynamic works. Me and the kids, playing around and having fun out of the most horrible situation, and Amber in the back on the phone cleaning things up.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Its just another story for us to tell, and we have plenty of them. But its always something going on."Sabathias summer has been one to remember after being voted into the Hall as a first-ballot inductee, being one of just three left-handed pitchers to total at least 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts over their careers. Hes also a member of the Black Aces, a group of African American and African Canadian pitchers who have won at least 20 games during a single MLB season.ICHIRO SUZUKI TAKES SWIPE AT LONE WRITER WHO KEPT HIM FROM UNANIMOUS HALL OF FAME ELECTIONThe accolades are abundant for Sabathia, and they are on display in Cooperstown for years to come. But this summer hasnt just been about personal accomplishments for Sabathia, and a prime example of that is this weeks events benefitting his "fifth child," as he and his wife put it.The PitCCh In Foundation, founded in 2008, helps underserved youth across the country as the Sabathia family gives back to those communities that impacted them along this journey to becoming a Hall of Fame pitcher. Thats the main reason Sabathia was at the golf course on Tuesday, as his foundation hosted its fifth annual Golf Classic the new sports passion for the big left-hander.And the day before, CC and Amber Sabathia hosted the LegaCCy Gala at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan to not only celebrate the pitchers career and Hall of Fame honors, but benefit the foundation as well. The gala, filled with stars like Derek Jeter and Gerrit Cole, raised more than $375,000, and after the Yankees $250,000 contribution during a ceremony at Sundays game in the Bronx, the foundation is ready to impact youth with more than half a million dollars and counting."Its been incredible to see, not only the way the Yankees continue to show up for us me, my wife and our family and the foundation," Sabathia explained. "But just the support we still get in retirement, and seeing the foundation still thriving five years into retirement. After you get done playing you dont know what its going to look like. I know thats something thats super passionate for me and my family."PitCCh In, and everything else in Sabathias life, has always been a family affair. So, this summer hasnt just been about him its been about those who have been by his side through it all.Sabathia may have "transitioned into being a golfer full time," but his impact on and off the baseball field will continue following his Hall of Fame induction. He has a role as an advisor in the MLB Commissioners Office as well as with the Yankees, the team he spent 11 of his 19 seasons with while winning a World Series title in 2009.But continuing to impact future generations of ballplayers, golfers and whoever else it may be, remains a constant in not just Sabathias life, but his entire family. After all, building a LegaCCy requires a strong support system.Strong as a unit."I think what you see now is what my whole careers been," Sabathia said of his family. "We had kids really young, me and Amber. I was 22 years old, and she was 21 years old. I played 19 years, so Little C saw my whole career. To have all the kids be able to celebrate now and understand what we went through all the moving around we did, all the flights, all the stuff, why we cant do this in the summertime, why we have to do this in the wintertime. All these different sacrifices that they made, they get to see the fruits of it."Ive been telling people this Hall of Fame thing this summer has been more about all the people around me than it is about me. In my speech, wanting to tell the story about the women that helped me in my hometown. Getting a chance to talk about my high school coach, my dad, everybody thats helped me get to this point, my family included. I think its fun to be able to celebrate with them and have them old enough to understand whats happening and what weve been through. The legacy they have to continue on with PitCCh In."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Columbia University's student-run satirical newspaper, The Federalist, published an article on Wednesday roasting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in the wake of his assassination because of his support for gun rights.The article, published just hours after Kirk's death, satirized the staunch Second Amendment advocate being shot and killed, with the headline, "Turning Point USA Undergoes Unexpected Ideological Shift, States Second Amendment Actually Not That Important Anymore.""'The Turning Point USA leadership team recently convened to discuss the role of the Second Amendment in our propaganda, I mean, education.

It's no overstatement to say that Charlie Kirk's powerful reach and influence among conservatives helped put President Donald Trump back in the White House.Kirk, the MAGA world rock star and ally of Trump and the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., turned the extremely influential Turning Point USA youth organization that he co-founded at age 18 into a voter turnout machine for Trump in last year's presidential election."His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody ever," the president said of his close friend and ally, in a video posted to social media hours after Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday.Vice President JD Vance, who was also very close to Kirk, highlighted his friend's efforts in the 2024 campaign and in advising the Trump-Vance administration this year.CLICK HERE FOR LIVE FOX NEWS UPDATES ON THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION"He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government," Vance wrote in a statement on social media.Turning Point Action, the political arm of Kirk's conservative youth organization, was instrumental in boosting younger voter turnout for Trump in last year's White House race."Charlie was such an amazing guy.He really captured the youth, the imagination of the youth," the president told Fox News' chief political anchor Bret Baier in a conversation on Wednesday. "He really convinced millions and millions of young people that MAGA was the way to go."CHARLIE KIRK ROSE TO BECOME A CONSERVATIVE POWERHOUSEKirk, who grew up in suburban Chicago, got his start in politics while in high school as a volunteer in the 2010 campaign of former Republican Sen. Mark Kirk (no relation) of Illinois.In the 13 years since he co-founded Turning Point USA, he turned it into one of the most prominent and influential conservative groups in the nation.TurningPoint Action dished out millions of dollars into get-out-the-vote efforts in the key presidential battleground states that Trump ended up sweeping in his 2024 victory over then-Vice President Kamala Harris, who last summer replaced then-President Joe Biden as the Democrats' national nominee.And Turning Point's "Chase the Vote" initiative, where staffers built bonds with low propensity voters during the 2024 cycle, helped bank votes by ensuring those people would cast ballots in the presidential election.Turning Point also helped run the Trump team's grassroots organizing and canvassing efforts, following a decision last year by federal election regulators that allowed candidates' campaigns to work directly with outside political groups.DEMS, GOP LAWMAKERS JOIN FORCES TO CONDEMN POLITICAL VIOLENCE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK SHOT"This is one where the statistics don't lie. There were seven battleground states and in six of the seven, there were dramatic gains among younger voters," longtime Republican strategist John Brabender told Fox News. "It would be hard-pressed for anyone to not understand that Charlie Kirk was a major reason that happened."Brabender, who served as a media consultant for Trump's 2024 campaign, said "You could easily make the argument that Charlie Kirk had not only an important effort for the election but ultimately the effort that put President Trump over the top."A Democratic strategist who served on the Biden and Harris campaigns, pointed to Kirk's large following and acknowledged that his efforts helped boost crucial youth turnout for Trump.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAnd Democrats tried to emulate Kirk's efforts with Dream for America, a grassroots youth organization founded two years ago.The group, on their website, describes their mission as "building a Turning Point USA for the left."

Robert Griffin III was supposed to be the future of what were then the Washington Redskins.Fresh off a Heisman Trophy win at Baylor, he was the No. 2 overall pick behind Andrew Luck and wowed in his Rookie of the Year campaign.However, he was never the same after tearing his ACL in a playoff game. Griffin started just 20 more games with Washington before heading to the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, and retired after the 2020 season.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIt's obvious that Griffin would rather his tenure in the nation's capital have gone differently, and the organization has done a total 180 since he left, with new owners and not one, but two name changes.But at the end of the day, the organization "changed my life forever.""I root for the Washington Commanders because, no matter what happened, the Washington Redskins, Football Team, Commanders changed my life forever. And the fans changed my life forever," Griffin told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "I love them, theyve shown love to me and I appreciate them. From that standpoint, I'll always be a Washington Commander fan, and I'm rooting for Jayden Daniels."The fans still root for Griffin, and he was outside the nation's capital to give back to the community. But it doubly hit closer to home, as Griffin, a child of two military veterans, partnered with USAA on its Positive Steps program.CHIEFS' TRAVIS KELCE SAYS HE FELT 'LIKE S---' AFTER INJURING TEAMMATE XAVIER WORTHY IN COLLISION"Its everything. Military families, military brats in the military community are often forgotten about, but these are people that are sacrificing everything for this country. Theyre putting the lives and freedom of other people's families before their own," Griffin said. "And that, to me, can't be talked about enough, because it takes a special kind of person to be willing to go out there just so that me and you can go watch a football game on Saturday or Sunday at the stadium."That to me is very, very important because I'll never forget where I came from, and I am the son of two military veterans who served 21 and 13 years in the military and gave everything toward this country and sacrificed being in war zones so that we could all experience the freedoms that we do. So that positive step, for me, is always acknowledging where I came from and always giving back to the communities that have shaped my life."Griffin, Daniels and running back Mike Thomas in 1975 are the only players in Washington history to be named Rookie of the Year. Now, it sure seems like Griffin will be able to watch Daniels, as a fan, for a long while."We should continue to celebrate this young man. He's doing things that have never been done before and giving the Commanders a franchise quarterback outlook," Griffin said. "I think he can be the first franchise quarterback they've had since [Joe] Theismann. We should support him through all his ups and downs because this young man is special."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert mourned the death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday after he was assassinated at a campus event in Utah."Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?" Kimmel wrote on Instagram. "On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence."Colbert's remarks came ahead of "The Late Show" on Wednesday."Our condolences go out to his family and all of his loved ones.
