  • Robinson escaped the campus by jumping from a rooftop, running through a forested section, and leaving the towel-wrapped gun hidden in nearby woods close to the university.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel stated on Fox & Friends that Robinson wrote a pre-shooting note pledging to 'take out Charlie Kirk' based on his political motives.
  • Robinson remains uncooperative with investigators as formal charges including aggravated murder are expected this week, underscoring ongoing legal proceedings.
