UVU spokesperson Scott Trotter released a statement saying the suspect is not yet in custody.

“On September 10, 2025, at 12:20 a single shot rang out in the quad near the food court on the Utah Valley University Orem Campus as Mr. Charlie Kirk began speaking at his planned rally. We can confirm that Mr. Kirk was shot, but we don’t know his condition. The suspect is not in custody. Police are still investigating Campus is closed for the rest of the day.”

Initially it was believed that a shooter was in custody, but officials now say the suspect is not in custody.
