Charlie Kirk was shot dead from a rooftop while he spoke at a college campus in Utah.
According to an FBI expert, the assassin positioned himself on a rooftop approximately 200 yards away from where Kirk was sitting in order to make a quick escape from the scene.
The shot that ended Kirk's life was fired from the top of the Losee Center Building — located almost two football fields away from the spot the right-wing political activist addressed a crowd of roughy 3,000 people.
Retired FBI supervising agent James Gagliano admitted during an interview that the sniper's location allowed him to flee "miles and miles" away from the scene in minutes, as OK! previously reported.

Charlie Kirk was a 31-year-old right-wing political activist.
"If you come off that roof — and I’ve seen the drone footage of this — there’s an open-air parking lot behind that building," the former officer revealed.
He admitted: "So, this is a big concern because this person, within three to five minutes of that shot going off, that person could have been in a vehicle on his way out and miles and miles away."
Gagliano suspected the assassin could have even made it on a flight without being caught as the nearest airport is "only about 45 minutes from the Utah campus.
President Donald Trump was among the first individuals to confirm Kirk's passing.
"The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie," he said on Truth Social. "He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife, Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!"
