WASHINGTON CITY, Utah — Authorities said they had Tyler Robinson, 22, from Utah, in custody this morning, Sept. 12, and have accused him of killing conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Kirk died after he was shot in the neck during a public appearance at Utah Valley University in Orem Utah on Sept. 10.
Washington City Police were keeping media and neighbors across the street from the alleged shooter’s family home on the morning of Sept. 12, as the occasional car drove down the otherwise quiet street.
Who is Tyler Robinson, who allegedly shot Charlie Kirk?
Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old man who attended school in the south Utah city of St. George, was named as the suspected shooter. Robinson has no criminal history according to state records. Washington City, where Robinson’s family lives, borders the larger city.
Robinson is a registered voter in Utah, but does not have a party affiliation.
Social media photos from Robinson’s mother, Amber, depict a tight-knit family where Tyler was the oldest of three sons.

The family is shown on vacations to the Grand Canyon and on outdoor excursions like fishing trips.
In August 2020, Amber Robinson posted what appears to be an ACT college aptitude test score for Tyler – 34 out of 36 – that would place him in the top 1% of test takers, according to recent averages.
Tyler wore a Trump-related Halloween costume in 2017, according to Amber’s social media.
The eldest Robinson son graduated from Pine View High School in St. George in 2021, according to Amber Robinson’s social media. The high school did not immediately respond to an inquiry from USA TODAY.
Tyler is photographed at Utah State University and was offered an academic scholarship to attend the Logan, Utah-based university according to a letter he read aloud in a video posted to Amber’s social media.
Utah State University said the suspected shooter “briefly attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021.”
He lived at home with his parents, according to neighbors who spoke with USA TODAY.
How was Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter captured?
FBI Director Kash Patel announced that Robinson was taken into custody around 10 p.m. local time on Thursday, Sept. 11.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told reporters that Robinson was taken into custody after a family member contacted a family friend, who then informed authorities that Robinson had “confessed to them or implied that he committed the incident.”
Cox said “his family and a friend helped to deliver him into the custody of law enforcement in Washington County.” The governor thanked family members “who did the right thing in this case.”

Authorities tied him to the crime through a review of online messages, interviews with his family members and friends and surveillance video. The messages included some sent on Discord, a popular online chatting platform.
President Donald Trump, without naming Robinson, first announced his capture during a Friday morning appearance on Fox and Friends. Trump said that a minister was involved in identifying the suspect.
Neighbors of the Robinson family told USA TODAY that they attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, whose members are colloquially known as Mormons.
The announcement came a day after law enforcement released several images as well as a video showing the alleged gunman leap from a rooftop after the Sept. 10 attack. The FBI recovered what they believe to be the murder weapon, a high-powered bolt-action rifle, and several imprints on the roof where the gunman fired the one fatal shot.
Robinson ‘became more political in recent years’
At the dinner table before Kirk came to Utah Valley University for the event at which he was killed, suspect Robinson talked in disparaging terms about the conservative activist, Cox said at the news briefing.
“Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years,” Cox said.
Also, Cox said, a family member interviewed by authorities referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to Sept. 10, “and in the conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU.”
“They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” Cox said. “The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate.”
What kind of gun did investigators recover?
In a wooded area behind Utah Valley University’s Losee building, FBI forensics agents recovered what they called a “high-powered rifle” they believe the suspect used to kill political influencer Charlie Kirk.
The rifle was a Mauser 98 bolt action chambered in the popular Springfield .30-06 caliber, authorities announced Sept. 12.

Tom Chittum, a former ATF Associate Deputy Director had predicted the single shot fired at Kirk indicated a bolt action rifle was used.
“.30-06 is a common hunting caliber, and the reports indicate it was an imported, older model,” said Tom Chittum, former ATF Associate Deputy Director.
Chittum said the traditional hunting caliber is used for hunting deer and in this configuration usually comes in a magazine with five rounds. Bolt action rifles mean one pull of the trigger fires a round, then a shooter must manually chamber another round. That’s opposed to a semi-automatic rifle where the firearm uses a mechanism to chamber a subsequent round.
“This was a longer shot, that suggests a person has prepared and practiced, but you don’t necessarily need to be a police or military sniper to make that shot,” Chittum said. “With modern optics and some practice, it’s not an impossible shot.”
What was inscribed on the bullets?
Authorities said there were messages written on the fired casing and three unfired bullets found in the Mauser rifle allegedly used in the shooting.
The fired casing, according to Utah governor Spencer Cox, read, “Notices bulges OwO What’s This?” The phrase references an internet meme tied to animated videos and furry culture. OwO references an emoticon, and “what’s this?” denotes cuteness or curiosity. It’s frequently referenced by video game streamers.

One of the unfired casings said, according to Cox: “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao.” The lyrics reference the anthem of the antifascist Italian resistance during World War II.
Cox said that another read, “Hey fascist! Catch!” The casing also had a series of arrows that pointed up, right, down, down, and down in reference to a cooperative shooter video game called Helldivers 2. The input is the code for an airstrike. It has morphed into a meme and is used to imply a devastating reaction to something that should be destroyed.
The third unfired casing, according to Cox, said, “If you’re reading this, you’re gay LMAO.”
What do neighbors of the Robinson family have to say?
Few neighbors wished to share their names with USA TODAY when discussing the Robinson family.
Kristin Schwiermann, who has lived two doors down for the last 16 years, said she has known the suspect’s family for decades. A head custodian with the Washington County School District, she said she watched the boys grow up and often crossed paths with the family at church and school events.“He was always very quiet, had just a few friends,” she said. “I think he was more on the musical side, very smart.”Schwiermann said she believes social media may have played a role in shaping his views. “There’s just too much hate out there,” she said. “I know he wasn’t taught those things. I have no hate for him. Even though I loved Charlie Kirk, I’d rather try to understand what was going on in his mind.”

She described the suspect’s mother, Amber, as “a very beautiful, sweet woman” and said she was heartbroken for the family.Adding to the shock, Schwiermann said her own grandson had been at the Charlie Kirk event. “My feeling was, at least it wasn’t a mass shooting,” she said. “The funny thing is my daughter is actually hosting an event for mental health. It just makes you think.”
Will Robinson receive the death penalty for Kirk’s killing?
Robinson, according to Cox, is currently held at the Utah County Jail.
The governor said that the suspected shooter “will be charged soon and will be held accountable.” It’s unclear when those charges might be filed, though Cox said on Sept. 11 that state prosecutors may pursue the death penalty for Kirk’s killer.
Trump, in his morning comments on Fox and Friends, argued that Kirk’s killer should receive the death penalty.
“I hope he gets the death penalty,” Trump said. “What he did − Charlie Kirk was the finest person.”
Utah uses lethal injection as its primary method of execution for inmates condemned today, though the firing squad is authorized in cases where lethal injection drugs are not available, due to a long-running shortage.
