Investigators have released a new video of the suspect in the fatal shooting of American activist Charlie Kirk, and that the FBI says has already received more than 7,000 tips. Katie Simpson has more from Washington.

In the panicked moments after Charlie Kirk was shot, smartphone video captured new clues. Authorities say the gunman fled, ditching his weapon, which is now in their possession. It is a high-powered bolt-action rifle. Investigators have also collected footwear impression, a palm print and forearm imprints for analysis. FBI director Cash Patel has now arrived in Utah with his deputy and they've actually just released new video showing the suspect moments after the shooting took place.

The suspect is wearing all black on top of the roof. We know the suspect took a shot from an elevated position and the suspect makes his way across the roof and then lowers himself down onto the ground sort of jumping from the top of that one story building before running and that eventually walking and making his way into that. wooded area where police say he ditched his weapon. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump says federal immigration enforcement is aimed at what he calls, quote, the worst of the worst violent criminals in the country illegally. But as Mike Crawley reports, the latest figures tell a different story. They've become a familiar site on social media in the U.S. videos like this showing masked, armed officers grabbing suspected illegal immigrants off the street.

They're agents of immigration and customs enforcement. Since Donald Trump's inauguration, the federal agency has ramped up arrests at an unprecedented rate. Kathleen Bush-Joseph is an attorney at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington. She says ISIS tactics appear less about targeting violent criminals than about boosting arrest numbers. They're going to places where they think there will be lots of unauthorized immigrants and trying to arrest as many people as they can there. Federal data from May through July show ICE made roughly triple the arrests of the same period last year. The data also show half of those detained have no criminal record or charges. Trump's team had floated the goal of deporting one million people each year.

It's currently on pace for less than one-third of that number in 2025. Mike Crawley, CBC News, Toronto. Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison after he was convicted of attempting a coup to remain in office despite his 2022 electoral defeat.

The pistol that misfired in the holster of a Charlottetown police officer is the same kind of weapon at the center of a storm of controversy and safety concerns in the United States. Our CMP are investigating the incident, which took place last week. The officer was not injured.

As the CBC's Murray Brewster tells us, the Sig Sauer P320 has been the subject of lawsuit and counterclaims and is now the handgun of choice for Canadian military. I really like the break and reset on this trigger. Gun owners and even law enforcement in the U.S. fell in love with the Sigsour P320. It is the official pistol of the U.S. Army and more recently the Canadian military, which ordered almost 20,000 of them. There have now been two reported cases of misfires involving the weapon in this country and literally hundreds of cases in the U.S. I would say really think hard about distributing this weapon. Jeff Bagnell, a Connecticut lawyer who

has litigated cases against the gun manufacturer, he says there are several class action lawsuits in the U.S. underway and a number of local police forces this summer pulled the weapon from service. A Canadian Special Forces soldier was wounded almost five years ago. while holstering the P320. The RCMP is investigating this latest incident involving Charlottetown police where the gun seemingly went off by itself. Sigzauer was asked for comment by CBC News,

but it did not respond. Marie Brister, CBC News, Ottawa. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Clawfake.
