Kirk murder suspect ‘deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,’ Cox says
- Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed by a single rifle bullet fired from a rooftop during a Wednesday outdoor gathering held at a college in Orem, Utah.
- The shooting took place against a backdrop of ongoing political unrest in the United States, with suspect Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old student at Dixie Technical College, arrested Thursday night after relatives informed authorities of his role in the incident.
- Robinson was captured following a 33-hour manhunt aided by surveillance footage showing a person of interest fleeing across the rooftop, and police recovered a bolt-action rifle matching comments linked to Robinson.
- Utah Governor Spencer Cox stated, “We got him,” confirmed Robinson acted alone, and announced formal charges, including aggravated murder, will be filed next week with officials seeking the death penalty.
- Kirk’s killing sparked widespread condemnation across the political spectrum, with memorial plans for September 21 in Glendale, Arizona, and experts urging less ideological finger-pointing to reduce violence.
