According to Steven Crowder, an exclusive leaked ATF internal message details the weapon recovered from the Charlie Kirk shooting: an older Mauser .30-06 rifle with cartridges engraved with transgender and anti-fascist ideology, found along the suspect's escape route.
ATF agents and other law enforcement quickly responded and located the weapon—an older imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle—wrapped in a towel in a nearby wooded area, consistent with the suspect's route of escape. The rifle had a spent cartridge still chambered, along with three unspent rounds in the top-fed magazine. Notably, all cartridges were engraved with wording expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology. An emergency trace on the firearm has been initiated, and the ATF's Salt Lake City office is following leads from it. The rifle and ammunition have been handed over to the FBI for DNA and fingerprint analysis; once forensics are complete, the weapon will be disassembled for further importer details.
