Cox on Kirk Suspect Coming From Conservative Home: ‘His Ideology Was Very Different than His Family’
Tyler Robinson, 22, radicalized online, allegedly shot Charlie Kirk; motive unclear, investigation ongoing with formal charges expected Tuesday, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said.
- Last week, Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead while speaking at Utah Valley University, with Tyler Robinson arrested and due in court next Tuesday for formal charges.
- Family members told investigators Robinson had become more political in recent years, radicalized online in gaming and message boards, with officials uncertain if his roommate’s transition influenced his motive.
- Authorities noted anti-fascist messages on bullet casings and a rifle found near the scene, and Spencer Cox, Utah governor, said, `Those are things that are still being processed for accuracy and verification and will be included in charging documents.`
- Prominent conservatives blamed Democratic figures after the shooting, the president urged peaceful "revenge" at the ballot box linking the attack to the radical left, and Spencer Cox, Utah governor, called for lowering the toxic political temperature on Sunday.
- Investigators are reviewing a note and post-shooting Discord communications; Tyler Robinson's roommate and partner is cooperating with police and unaware of the shooting, officials say.
