"In less than 36 hours 33 to be precise thanks to the full weight of the federal government and leading out with the partners here in the state of Utah and Gov. [Spencer] Cox, the suspect was apprehended in a historic time period," FBI Director Kash Patel said. Officials are crediting "seamless" collaboration between local, state and federal law enforcement, as well as some 7,000 tips from members of the public, with speeding up the search for Kirk's alleged killer."
"While answering audience questions, Kirk is struck with a single gunshot to the neck and slumps over, according to graphic and widely circulated videos of the incident. The crowd which officials said numbered some 3,000 people dispersed in a chaotic scene, with Mason later saying students ran in fear and some barricaded themselves in classrooms. Social media videos from the scene, not verified by NPR, show a group of people carrying Kirk to an SUV, which took him to Timpanogos Regional Hospital."
Law enforcement apprehended the suspect in Charlie Kirk's shooting in less than 36 hours, crediting seamless collaboration between local, state and federal partners and about 7,000 public tips. Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and podcaster, was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. Surveillance footage shows alleged suspect Tyler Robinson arriving in a gray Dodge Challenger at 8:29 a.m., wearing a maroon T-shirt and light-colored shorts. Investigators tracked Robinson through stairwells to a roof roughly 150 yards from the courtyard tent, where he moved to a shooting location. Kirk was struck once in the neck while taking audience questions; the crowd fled and some students barricaded themselves in classrooms. Social media videos show people carrying Kirk to an SUV that transported him to Timpanogos Regional Hospital.
