False Tips and Chicken Coops: The Chaotic Hunt for Charlie Kirk’s Killer

This article gives the impression that local authorities and the FBI have essentially no leads at all in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. I'm curious how much of this has to do with the post-purge state of the FBI and its previous focus on domestic extremist activity. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...
