Kirk Suspect Captured: Live FBI Press Conference Coverage

Still waiting

Okay here we go

Governor Cox is first up

Confirming that family member reached out to family friend. 

[Added later]

“On the evening of September 11th, a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.” “This information was relayed to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office and scene investigators at Utah Valley University.” “This information was also conveyed to the FBI.”

Got additional footage that confirmed video when he 

Robinson had come to dinner and talked about Kirk at dinner, that Kirk was ‘spreading hate.’ An individual who was Robinson’s roommate showed them Discord messages.

Those included a need to retrieve a rifle froma drop-point, and watching a rifle where it was left, as well as engraved bullets. The Tyler contact said he had changed outfits.

YOW

Gov going thru rifle now. Inscriptions on fired ‘Hey! Facist! Catch:’

More that was sick gibberish on the unfired casings.

Gov thanking law enforcement, the public and the family members of Tyler Robinson. Thanking Kirk’s family and wants everyone to think of them.

Now Kash – this is what happens when you let good cops be cops.

🚨 BREAKING: Charlie Kirk assassin suspect Tyler Robinson made plans to retrieve a rifle from a “DROP POINT.” It was coordinated. They engraved bullets. Messages exchanged via Discord.

Booked into jail this morning.

Kash is going through a timeline after thanking local law enforcement. And when they authorized the various info releases

Suspect taken into custody at 10pm local. That’s why ‘we went so public so fast, so transparently’ 

Evidence is already being processed at FBI HQ in Quantico

Over 11K leads to FBI

Sheriff Mike Smith now

Thanks for a vast fast-paced investigation

Meanwhile they’re showing booking photos that I guess just got released.

“Good morning ladies and gentlemen: we got him!”
Suspect in custody.

Suspect monitored rifle drop point, had engraved pro-trans, pro-Communist messaging on ammunition, including lyrics to “Bella ciao” (Italian communist song)

Got a live feed finally

This is what I couldn’t type fast enough to catch when they were talking about the engraved inscriptions. This kid is a psycho.

I can’t believe this is real, I was just listening to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox at a press conference, and he revealed that the spent bullet casing from the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination was, and I kid you not, “notices bulge, OwO what’s this?”

Genuinely insane

Gov Cox is having an emotional moment, and I can understand. Charlie Kirk was close to all of them, none of them have slept and they are all absolutely fried.

He’s making the point right now, after a long talk, about how they’ve handled it. No riots, no violence, no arson.

But with vigils and memorials.

‘Every single one of us gets to choose right now if this is a turning point for us…follow what Charlie taught us’

Hope is the virtue that sits between the vices of optimism and pessimism.

And now questions.

So, they do not anticipate any more arrests at this time, so I am assuming that the roommates Robinson had contacted over Discord to get the rifle did nothing but show the FBI all of the messages and cooperated fully, and was NOT part of a conspiracy. As I said in the comments earlier, there’s a difference between being an active part of a conspiracy and being asked for help afterward, and that’s what it appears to be.
