      XPost: alt.fan.states.utah, alt.activism.death-penalty, talk.politics.guns       XPost: sac.politics, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: slothe@netcom.com              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              Ben Goggin              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       Minyvonne Burke              Officials believe the suspect acted alone in Charlie Kirk’s shooting, Gov.       Spencer Cox said at a morning news conference.              https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-       560w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-09/250912-tyler-robinson-ch-1038-       4a8452.jpg              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."              https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/charlie-kirk-shooter-       manhunt-live-updates-rcna230762              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
