OREM, Utah — Police, FBI, and ATF officials were seen going door-to-door in an Orem neighborhood on Thursday in an attempt to locate home surveillance footage that may show persons of interest connected to the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

FOX 13 News was in the neighborhood when several law enforcement personnel were seen approaching homes and talking to residents.

Erwin Steele, whose family members live in that area, said officials were asking to see camera footage.

"They're going door to door, checking for Ring camera footage to see if there's any evidence of someone who may have either left yesterday after the incident or on their way to the college during that incident," Steele said.

Steele's family has resided in the neighborhood for over 70 years and adds that the shooting has shocked those who call the area home.

"It was scary," he said, "It's, I know it's been said many times, but this is a safe place. This is a calm place."

That feeling was echoed by Kathy Beeckel, another resident of the neighborhood, "It's scary to think this person came so close to us and our neighbors."

Steele pointed to a specific camera that police had yet to retrieve information from.

"We were going to get them the SIM card out of it, um, but they wanted their forensic people to come and acquire it," he added.

Beeckel stated she hopes the shooter is found soon for the safety of her neighbors."t's disturbing because you don't know if the person is still around. And this is a quiet neighborhood. A very quiet, a very nice neighborhood, so it's disturbing to have something like that come up. But something could happen anywhere."

Kirk was shot and killed Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University. Investigators have claimed the shooter arrived at the campus at 11:52 a.m. and that officials have since tracked his movements through stairwells and up to the rooftop location where the shot was fired.
