Suspect in assassination of Charlie Kirk arrested

Authorities arrested Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah man, in connection with the shooting of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday at Utah Valley University.
The suspect was identified after a two-day manhunt prompted by a tip from a family member through a family friend to law enforcement.
Robinson is reported to have fired from a rooftop some distance away overlooking the courtyard where Kirk was speaking, and a bolt-action rifle thought to be the weapon used was found nearby.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox announced, "We got him," while President Trump told Fox News that he is quite confident the suspect is now in custody.
Robinson is currently booked but not formally charged, while authorities and the FBI continue analyzing evidence to bring justice for Kirk's family.
