Disturbing details emerge about radical-left suspected Charlie Kirk shooter
Suspected Charlie Kirk shooter, Tyler Robinson, 22, had become "increasingly political in recent years" and was described as "full of hate," ranting at a family dinner that Charlie Kirk was "spreading hate" and expressing strong dislike for Kirk's viewpoints before the assassination, a family friend told authorities.
Arrest through family intervention: Robinson was turned in by his retired sheriff's deputy father after the dad recognized him in FBI photos, confronted his son who confessed to the shooting, and convinced him to speak with their youth minister (who also works with US Marshals) rather than kill himself as Robinson initially threatened.
Evidence and communications: Authorities found engraved bullet casings with left-wing slogans like "Hey fascist! Catch!" and references to the Italian anti-fascist song "Bella Ciao," plus Discord messages Robinson sent to his roommate after the shooting with details about retrieving the rifle and changing his outfit.
Investigation conclusion: The 33-hour manhunt ended Thursday night when FBI agents took Robinson into custody, with Utah Gov. Spencer Cox declaring "We got him" at Friday's press conference alongside FBI Director Kash Patel, who concluded with an emotional tribute to Kirk saying "See you in Valhalla."

Local Leaders Back Plan: The president claimed Tennessee's Republican Gov. Bill Lee and Memphis' Democratic Mayor Paul Young are "happy" with the impending National Guard deployment.
Court Victories Anticipated Soon: Trump expressed confidence in winning all legal challenges, noting ongoing suits from D.C. and a blocked deployment in Los Angeles.
Other Cities Under Scrutiny: While bypassing Chicago, Trump highlighted St. Louis as a potential next target based on Vena's input on urban safety issues.
