   What we know   
   The suspect arrested and accused of killing conservative activist Charlie   
   Kirk has been identified by officials as 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler   
   Robinson.   
      
   Investigators interviewed a member of Robinson's family, who said he had   
   become more political in recent years. The family member said Robinson   
   recently told them that Kirk was coming to Utah Valley University and the   
   pair discussed how they didn’t like Kirk and the viewpoints he held.   
      
   Authorities said they recovered a “high-powered, bolt-action rifle” used   
   in the shooting from a wooded area.   
      
   Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance arrived in Arizona last   
   night with Kirk’s casket on board Air Force Two.   
      
   Discord disputes some details shared in press conference

   The company behind the online chat app Discord is disputing some details   
   that were shared in Friday's press conference with officials. In the press   
   conference, Utah governor Spencer Cox said that the suspect's roommate   
   showed law enforcement messages from Discord, in which an account going by   
   the name 'Tyler' discussed retrieving a gun from a drop point, engraving   
   bullets, and details about the gun's scope.   
      
   In a statement given to NBC News, a Discord spokesperson said the company   
   did identify an account belonging to the suspect, but said the messages   
   mentioned in the press conference were not believed to have been sent on   
   Discord.   
      
   We are deeply saddened by this tragedy and extend our condolences to the   
   Kirk family and everyone affected. In the course of our investigation, we   
   identified a Discord account associated with the suspect, but have found   
   no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on   
   Discord. The messages referenced in recent reporting about planning   
   details do not appear to be Discord messages. These were communications   
   between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting, where the   
   roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left   
   elsewhere. We have removed the suspect’s account for violating our off-   
   platform behavior policy. We strongly condemn violence of any kind,   
   including political violence, and we will continue to coordinate closely   
   with law enforcement.   
      
   Discord spokesperson   
   Discord has been used in recent years by several shooting suspects.   
      
   Suspect was an electrical student at a technical college   
      
      
   Aaron Gilchrist and Rebecca Cohen   
   The Charlie Kirk shooting suspect is a third-year student in the   
   electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College in St.   
   George, Utah, a spokesperson from Utah Valley University said.   
      
   He attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021, the   
   spokesperson said, and also earned college credits through Utah Tech   
   University while in high school from 2019-2021.   
      
   Officials believe suspect acted alone in shooting

   Officials believe the suspect acted alone in Charlie Kirk’s shooting, Gov.   
   Spencer Cox said at a morning news conference.

   When asked by a reporter if he expects additional arrests, the governor   
   said: "We do not at this time have any information that would lead to any   
   additional arrests."   
      
   A reporter then asked if he believed the suspect acted alone. "Yes, but   
   the investigation is ongoing."   
      
   'Hey fascist! Catch!' among inscriptions found on suspect's weapons   
      
   Rebecca Cohen   
      
   Discord messages reviewed by investigators indicated that the shooting   
   suspect engraved writings on bullets he used and that the rifle and scope   
   he used were "unique," Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said at a news conference   
   this morning.   
      
   Officials found a bolt-action rifle wrapped in a dark towel yesterday in a   
   wooded area on the edge of Utah Valley University. Cox said it was a   
   Mauser model 98 bolt-action rifle. It had a scope mounted on it.   
      
   There were inscriptions on casings found within the rifle, Cox said. The   
   inscription on the fired casing said: "notices, bulges, OWO, what's this?"   
      
   Three unfired casings also had inscriptions, Cox said.   
      
   One read, "Hey fascist! Catch!" with an up arrow, a right arrow and three   
   down arrows.   
      
   The second said, "Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao."   
      
   The third, "If you read this, you are gay LMAO."
