Investigators say Tyler Robinson, 22, left disturbing online messages after killing Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. He allegedly posted on Discord about retrieving his rifle, hiding it in a bush, and changing clothes.
Authorities revealed that Robinson engraved political and internet slang messages on the bullets. One read “Hey Fascists! Catch,” while another featured lyrics from the anti-fascist song Bella Ciao. “It shows this was a targeted, symbolic attack,” Utah Governor Spencer Cox said.
Robinson was turned in by his father and a minister after the family recognized him in surveillance images. FBI Director Kash Patel praised the capture, calling it “historic” for ending the manhunt in 33 hours.
Kirk, 31, was a father of two and a well-known conservative voice. “He was full of life and loved debate,” one supporter said. The case is raising new questions about online radicalization and political violence. Do you think stricter gun laws could prevent tragedies like this?
