The report that George Hodgson Zinn is the sniper gunman who shot Charles Kirk in the neck has not been confirmed [VIDEO]

Ellen Treanor, associate vice president of strategic communication management at Utah Valley University, said Fox News that Charlie Kirk was shot from a structure about 200 yards away from the tent where he was speaking.

Treanor informed Fox News Digital. Kirk was "immediately" removed from school by his security team following the shooting.

According to the institution, a suspect has been taken into custody. They have yet to be publicly identified.

 

A man who prosecutors say asked Salt Lake City Marathon organizers if he could help set up bombs at the finish line now faces a criminal charge.

George Hodgson Zinn, 59, told investigators “he didn’t mean anything” by sending an email to the marketing director of the marathon asking, “I was wondering if you needed anybody to help place bombs near the finish line on Saturday???,” according to court documents. But Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said given the level of concern around the country following the bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured 170 earlier that week, all allegations are taken seriously.

“There are just things you cannot engage in,” he said.

Zinn was charged Tuesday in 3rd District Court with threat of terrorism, a second degree felony.
