Alleged assassin wrote that he had opportunity to take out Kirk: FBI director
- Tyler Robinson is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Tuesday in connection with the alleged killing of Charlie Kirk during a rally held at Utah Valley University earlier last week.
- FBI Director Kash Patel revealed on Monday that investigators reconstructed a destroyed note in which Robinson expressed his intention to "take out" Charlie Kirk.
- Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, was found with a firearm and screwdriver wrapped in a towel, all matching his DNA, and showed multiple signs of ideological indoctrination according to officials.
- FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stated investigators are probing if Robinson acted alone or was part of a broader plot, noting the motive appears ideologically driven and the bureau's rapid response reassures the public.
- The case remains active as authorities evaluate possible accomplices and authorities plan to review crisis handling to improve future responses following Robinson’s noncooperation.
