Utah Governor Spencer Cox and FBI Director Kash Patel reveal details of the alleged gunman at a briefing.
The man suspected of fatally shooting American conservative activist Charlie Kirk has finally been taken in custody following a two-day federal manhunt, authorities confirmed on Friday.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox named Tyler Robinson, 22, as the suspected shooter at a news conference on Friday, after United States President Donald Trump himself announced that a suspect had been arrested. “We got him,” Cox said.
He added that a family member of Robinson’s had reached out to a friend who contacted the authorities, and that friends and family members of Robinson, who had been interviewed by investigators, had described him as “full of hate” when discussing Charlie Kirk at a recent social gathering.
Here is what we know so far:
