Crime Suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing identified: Sources - A family member saw the photos of the suspect and turned him into police, two senior law enforcement officials say. / The bullet casing that killed Charlie Kirk had "notices your bulge 0w0 what's this" on it

The person accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk is 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson, according to five law enforcement officials briefed on the matter.

Kirk, a co-founder of Turning Point USA and an influential voice in the Trump administration, was shot and killed Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University, a public school south of Salt Lake City, according to Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason. The event was hosted by the school's chapter of Turning Point USA, a group Kirk founded that organizes and mobilizes young conservatives.

He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital, Mason said.

A witness told NBC News that he heard a gunshot and saw Kirk fall out of his chair. Blood appeared to be coming from his neck, said Taylor Dufur, who said he was roughly 30 feet from Kirk at the time.

Law enforcement officials said the shot was believed to have been fired by a person on the roof of a building. In an interview with NBC News, Mason said the single shot fired at Kirk traveled a distance of roughly 175 yards.

Investigators tracked the person's movements on campus, through stairwells and across a roof, Mason said at a news conference Thursday. After opening fire, Mason said, the person was seen jumping from a building and fleeing to a neighborhood.

Video released by authorities Thursday captured the person they described as the shooter running across a building's roof and descending onto a grassy area below. The person can then be seen walking past a parking lot toward a busy road.

The person "blended in well with the college institution,” Mason said.

The FBI was analyzing a weapon described as high-powered bolt-action rifle that was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter is believed to have fled, according to the public safety department. Investigators were also examining trace evidence collected from the rooftop — a palm print, a forearm imprint and a shoe impression, the FBI said.

In a statement, Turning Point USA said Kirk had faced “thousands” of threats throughout his life but “always prioritized reaching as many young Americans as possible over his own personal safety.”

“All of us will miss Charlie,” the group said. “None of us will ever forget him.”

In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced Kirk's death on Wednesday and said that no one "understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie."

“He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us,” Trump said.

I don't think courts can charge parents for helping their children evade the law, but maybe I'm wrong.

Not sure about specificly the US, but in most western nations you cannot be forced to testify against close relatives.

 

[Apustajan apustaja]

That's all a hard call, right? I certainly wouldn't turn my son over to the state for any "normal" crime, but if he were like a revolutionary communist or a serial rapist at some point you get to a point they are doing so much damage to the fabric of society as a whole that they are destroying things for everyone and effectively making you choose them over your other kids/family.

There is also a big difference between having them locked up for a long time, even life, and having them executed.

I dont get why people think this is such a hard question. If any of my family members murder someone in cold blood, they are no family of mine. I'd turn them in in a heartbeat. No hesitation.

This. People are acting like turning your child in for politically motivated assassinations is the exact same thing as turning in your grandmother for trespassing in the capital building.

Isn't the three arrows thing an antifa symbol?

Conservative. Sure, Jan.

It's a reference to the Three Arrows, which were a leftist paramilitary group from the Days of Weimar Germany

Actually they said it was up arrow, right arrow, and 3 down arrows which is a videogame thing I’d bet.

Yeah they locked down the subreddit

It calls in an airstrike in Helldivers 2.

We have spousal privilege, but nothing beyond that for families as far as I'm aware.

 

[waffle]

Also as the patriarch you have to think of the implications for your whole family. How far do you go to be an accomplice to one of your kin who committed a public execution, how much do you risk your entire family’s wellbeing?
.

Yeah, and there's no telling what retarded shit this kid did. To be an accessory after the fact the dad has to know he did it. If the kid confessed to the dad via some kind of electronic communication where he can't deny knowledge effectively later then really the most he can do to "help" the kid without risking hm self is basically say "get out of her I don't know you", maybe give him some cash and gold to pawn that you can claim he stole.

At the end of the day, the kid failed to read the room (probably a pattern if he was a gay furry) If his dad was a Mormon cop confessing to him in any capacity was insane. The dad's culture is to report shit, he will view it as his duty to God to do the right thing and turn you in. The amount of psychic pressure he's putting on his dad is insane. I'm Scottish-Irish, if I got my deer rifle and shot Hassan I could tell my dad and he isn't going to say shit and the only pressure he would be under is that I could get in trouble. That's because our culture is brother before clan, clan before the world - and your duty to God is to look out for your family and clan - not be a toady for the state.

He looks dumb as shit

His cellies are going to wipe that mouthbreathing grin off his stupid face. Prison is not kind to people who look like that.

he kinda looks like the wife of StuffMadeHere

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Yeah it looks like all his writings are invoking memes from games and shit. Not saying he isn’t a lefty but I am kinda leaning towards some kinda of nihilistic faggot who believes little and never touched grass.

>wrote Bella ciao, well known Italian commie mantra

>>Literally means "Good Bye beautiful"
>>Started trending out of the blue among kids after being featured on Money Heist which is only one of the top ten netflix show.
>>featured in Far Cry 6
>>Is literally a groyper meme song

Doesn't really point to the commie origin being the main reason for but keep coping.

Looked it up, some lower courts have recognised parent - child testimonial privilege, but not the supreme court . So it is still safer to tell your psychotherapist things than your mom.

[Anasa Tristis]

Now I am thinking, why did "sources" mentioned details about bullet casings?
There is someone in the investigation that is trying to bury the lead of the tranny cartridges

According to a Yahoo story I read earlier he went to a Halloween party dressed as Trump in 2016 or 2017. Ooooo!

Basically every journoscum alive is hustling to muddy the waters in case the true and honest details reflect poorly on their ideological team. Or their master's interests. Unleash enough contrary bullshit and the public's brains go TILT. And the band plays on.

Bella Ciao was effectively the anthem of Italian antifa partisans in WWII, and is still strongly embraced as an anti-fascist song by the modern left. Every post you make is somehow more retarded than the last, lol

 

[robobobo]

One of the cases having "fascist catch" on it is sufficient to work out the idiot's leanings here, regardless of the rest being stupid meme shit. And his dad probably turned him in to save his worthless life. There's no way the cops or feds would be in a hurry to take him in alive, I think he has better odds of escaping the death penalty in the courts.

99% chance this faggot knows it from playing HOI4 and it’s because of him liking vidya, not because he ever actually studied Italian antifa history.

Which doesn’t change anything about the response of the left or who he killed, just saying his ‘ideology’ is about as deep as the last few shooters who were terminally online and misanthropic. With a different background he could have easily fixated on Ariana Grande to vent his schizo anger on.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

This is kid's family is smart they will do everything they can to try to pin this on the school, it's teachers and Discord.

If they can convince a jury that it was everything he was exposed to in school and online that turn him into this killer he might just walk away with his life.

Blame the groomers, blame the radical teachers and the system that supports and empowers them. Blame Discord for allowing such radical spaces to exist when they crack down on anything even remotely right wing. Blame the MSM and the environment they create for twisting this kids brain until he just had to do something.

It may or may not be true but it's time to use the left's tactics against them. This is a great opportunity to do real damage to the progressive grooming system that is brainwashing our youth.

 

[Jace on ice]

Unless they find evidence that he was already being groomed as a teenager I'm assuming he was radicalized in college like a lot of other ANTIFA weirdos.
