22-year-old suspect arrested in Charlie Kirk shooting

Authorities in the U.S. state of Utah said Friday that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was in custody in connection with the shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University (UVU). Robinson was apprehended in Washington County after relatives helped identify him from images released by investigators, Utah Governor Spencer Cox told a news briefing in northern Utah's Orem city.

The governor said Robinson is not a UVU student and most recently attended Dixie Technical College in southern Utah. At the briefing, officials said charges will follow additional forensic and digital analysis. They believe Robinson acted alone.
