How did he confess?
Mr Cox told the press that a member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend, who then contacted a Sheriff with information that Robinson had implied he had committed the shooting.
According to CNN, the alleged shooter confessed to his dad that he was the shooter. Donald Trump said the "father convinced the son", and he went to a US Marshal.
The Utah governor praised the family members of the suspect, Tyler Robinson, who "did the right thing" by handing the suspect to authorities.
"I especially want to thank the family of Charlie Kirk," the governor also told the news conference, adding: "I want us to be thinking of them as we bring justice to this case."
Where is Tyler from?
The dad of suspect, Matt Robinson, is reportedly a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff's Department, according to the MailOnline. His mum, Amber Robinson, reportedly worked as a care worker.
The accused shooter is said to reside in a six-bedroom home valued at $600,000 in Washington, Utah - approximately 260 miles south of the shooting scene, the Daily Mail reports.
Officials released details about their suspected gunman saying they appeared "to be of college age" and "blended in" to the roughly 3,000 large university crowd who went to see Kirk's debate.
What was written on the bullet casings?
Bullet casings discovered by investigators had several inscriptions engraved on them, Mr Cox said. The casing that had been fired read: “notices bulges OWO what’s this?”
Mr Cox said there were three unfired casings:
- One read, “hey fascist! catch!” with an up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols.
- Another one read: “oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao,” Cox said.
- The third fired casing read: “if you read this you are gay lmao.”
Tyler Robinson, 22, was taken into custody on Thursday night as police finally close in on the suspect after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot in front of thousands of people

That's "trans ideology"? LMAO
Son of a sheriff and a nurse who laughs at gays. Now, would such a person shoot at someone for being conservative? Or would he shoot at someone for being "antisemitic"?
