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.

Spergy terminally online retard who might also be a closet furry is honestly close enough to tranny for me. He was definitely on the road towards it.

 

[KrumBum]

Was he "rEgIsTeReD rEpUbLiRcAn?" Is this fake, old etc?

I don't think what party you're registered to means much. A lot of people do that to vote weaker candidates in Primary elections. Or never change it even if they change.

Just curious on this as I see it making it's rounds.

Even the twitter and reddit posts I've seen trying to spin him as some sort of hardcore conservative admit his registration is "unaffiliated." They seem to be harping on his parents' affiliation and a political donation made to Republicans in 2020 by someone with his name, although it looks like he would have been 17 back then, and I have yet to see any confirmation whether it was actually him. I remember them playing this same game with Thomas Crook, trying to claim he made a donation to the GOP, when it turned out to be some other guy twice his age the next town over

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

Depends a lot on if that state has an open or closed primary. Some states, one party will 'swap' so they can support a less popular candidate and screw up the other party's primary.

 

[Glowing In The Streets]

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.

From the photos, it seems the costume is him riding Trump, not a nice thing to do and certainly something a Trump supporter wouldn't do

The media would spin holding a bloody Trump head as having a Trump marble bust

Still say that, they will continue to do that regardless. It’s not about what’s true, it’s about what you want to be true.

Hey, I'd like to see you try killing a guy from 200 yards away!

I commit LITCHERAL genocide from thousands of miles away every time I say 'tranny'. Chris Kyle was loosely based on my life.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

I do want to question NBC's choice to go with a image of a bunch of SWAT guys and their armoured truck rather then you know a picture of the subject arrested or maybe a image of Kirk?

I mean I know why they're doing it but it's so sleazy. Do they have no shame... ah never mind.

There is more evidence that he's a conservative than an antifa tranny, or that the 2020 election was rigged

Weren’t their journos barred from the Rittenhouse trial because they were trying to dox the jurors and send ANTIFAgs to their homes? Between that and their blaming Kirk for getting shot, they’re the lowest of the low media outlets.

People's beliefs change. He probably was a Trump fan when he was living with his parents and then when he got to college he got brainwashed into loving trannies, hanging out with furries, and fighting "fascism," leading to the present situation.

 

[OttoWest]

He claimed Kirk was “spreading hate” and argued with family members about Kirk’s appearance at UVU.

Sounds like your average 20-something’s rebellion against his parents’ conservative beliefs.

How anyone thinks this kid was alt right or whatever is retarded. I feel for his younger brothers though. There should be support groups for innocent kids and family members of notorious killers.

A few things grabbed before mom’s fb was nuked:

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

“This is just what a far right nazi would do if he wanted to frame the left.”
I guarantee that is going to be one of the arguments.

 

[Angry Alt Right Nerd]

Don't worry once it's conclusively proven he's a right-winger we will switch to claiming it's some kind of glowie conspiracy by the feds even though King Pedo is the fed now

Google streetview of his house, featuring someone who is probably his dad:

Just by the stuff in front of the house, they're well-off enough. I don't see any stickers on the trucks, but they look like they go hunting.

As far as Mormonism goes, and this would be better explained by a Mormon, of course:

First of all, they live in a very conservative area. He might be registered Republican because the dems just about don't exist in that area. The county went 74% for Trump. BUT a lot of Mormons are personally not Trump fans in that they think he's immoral.

A lot of Mormons are involved in police and law enforcement. He almost certainly would have been a Boy Scout before the church split from the Boy Scouts.

The shooter would be an Elder in the church and may have gone on a mission.

His dad being a Bishop in the church isn't that big of a deal. He'd basically be in charge of the Mormon equivalent of a local church, so 150-500 church members. Not a paid position, and it's appointed. Definitely hardcore mainstream Mormon, but not, like, polygamy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_(LDS_Church)

Finally, the family dynamics in Mormonism are weird. In Mormon theology, families are eternal and God the Father is literally your father.

I feel bad for his family. Imagine raising such an embarrassment.

[(‿ˠ‿) ԅ(≖‿≖ԅ)]

He was a registered republican who donated to Trump.
His parents are also registered republicans and his dad is a minister, former sherif. His family let him interact with guns from a young age. Lots of infos like this now that his name and face are out. He just seems to have a classical conservative upbringing.



Was not hard to guess ever since yesterday we got those blurry pics of him wearing a "Land of the Free" t-shirt to do the deed. Also libs hardly do anything those days, i don't see any of them putting together a successfull political assassination .

Don't shoot the messenger, just click the links.

hey man, those totally accurate Twitter links proving he was a conservative have already been deleted. it's so weird like maybe it was obvious bullshit or something who knows

"So there's this chemical... pentobarbital, they call it. And we've found that sometimes it's not made under the cleanest conditions. Most chemicals made in the USA are great chemicals, the best chemicals, but sometimes not so much. Sometimes corners get cut. And we want to make sure we always have they very best chemicals. So just to be sure, we're halting all production of pentobarbital to make sure they meet the standards that helped Make American Chemistry Great in the first place."

 

[Exterminate Leftists]

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.

I'll take "Things black people never say" for five hundred.

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

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.

Little nigger, there was zero chance this guy was going to get away with it, what do you think this is, like the vacuum cleaner guy in Breaking Bad? Feds were going to be swarming all over this thing and there's too much digital and forensic evidence these days to beat beyond reasonable doubt.

If he was thinking of running, his Dad saved him possibly being beaten or killed by the cops. There was no good option left for the guy after he took that shot. His life was literally over from the moment he became a murderer, stalker, enjoy prison
