From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Hurland. Investigators in Utah are hunting for the killer who shot Charlie Kirk on a university campus. The conservative American commentator was murdered yesterday. The governor of Utah calls it a political assassination. Steve Futterman reports from the scene of the shooting. Law enforcement officials here in Utah are looking for a killer. And if they have any clues, they are not revealing those clues to us right now.

Now, a number of hours ago, there was a person being questioned in custody. That person was called a person of interest. It was felt that authorities seemed fairly confident that that person might be the person they were looking for, but eventually that person was released. Now, right now, detectives, other law enforcement officials are going through every nook and cranny at the school, trying to come up with any possible clues. They're trying to look at cell phone videos. They're trying to look at security videos.

They're also using a number of high-tech methods to identify who may have been at the site where the shooting took place. They feel the shot was fired from around 200 meters away, just one single shot. They believe it was done by someone highly proficient, and that one shot killed Charlie Kirk.

The President of South Korea says that South Korean companies will likely hesitate to invest in the United States unless the U.S. improves its visa system. Li J.
