FBI Agent Lays Out Chilling Analysis Of Kirk Assassination: ‘Professional Hit’– trendingpoliticsnews.com Retired FBI agent Stuart Kaplan provided a chilling analysis of the assassination of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk in which he stated that the killing had the makings of a “professional hit.” Kirk was shot around noon local time at Utah Valley University and was pronounced dead a little over an hour later. He was shot by a single bullet midway through the question-and-answer period and immediately transported to a local hospital, though he was unable to survive the massive loss of blood. Investigators believe Kirk was shot from a nearby rooftop, though CNN has reported that investigators were unable to recover a weapon from the area. As of 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, September 11, the gunman is still at-large. While speaking with Fox News’ Jesse Watters, Kaplan shared his analysis on the assassination and the ongoing manhunt to locate the shooter. “I think this assassination, different than the assassinated attempt back in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a very well-planned, very well-orchestrated plot that was put in motion days before,” the retired FBI special agent speculated. “And this individual had a plan of escape to elude detection of being out up on a rooftop and also being able to evade and elude law enforcement after that shot was taken.” Kaplan compared the Kirk assassination with the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life in Pennsylvania last month, specifically noting that the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was seen entering and later leaving the venue before taking the shot. Crooks’ presence was noted by Secret Service counter-snipers, who took a photo but later lost track of him.
