(NEXTAR) – The state governor of Utah announced the arrest of a suspect in the deadly shooting of the conservative personality Charlie Kerk at a press conference on Friday morning.
“Good morning, ladies and pillow,” said state governor Spencer Cox at the beginning of a press conference.
Cox identified the suspect in Tyler Robinson, saying that he was a family member who was implicitly “that Robinson may be linked to fire. The law enforcement official has previously told the Associated Press that Robinson was a 22 -year -old Utah resident.
Cox said that the investigators learned from the Robinson family that he “became” More political Over the years. One of the investigators told Robinson recently that he was aware of the planned Kirk event at the University of Utah Valley.
Cox also said that the authorities had regained the weapon used in the shooting, as they learned that the messages had been included on the cover of a consumer bullet, as well as other unlimited bullet covers.
According to Cox, he read the cover that was spent, “Owo note what this is?” The unprecedented bullet cover was to read a message, “Fascism! Pick up!” “The arrow symbol is up and the right arrow code and three arrow codes down,” Cox said. A third non -independent cover contained a part of the words “Bella Ciao”, a song that is often linked to Italian resistance during the Nazi occupation in World War II. The last cover was described by reading the language, “If you read this, you are LMAO.”
When asked, Cox said that the importance of the inscriptions would be left for the interpretation, but he said that the fascist “inscription” talks about himself. “(Online players informed the” Heldivers 2 “video game also that the stocks are a reference to a symbol used to drop a certain type of bomb.)
Cox, Kirk, described Kirk as a “attack on the American experience”, and urged a new generation to “choose a different path.”
Cox said it was believed that Robinson had been behaved alone, and the investigation was continuing. The ruler added that Cox was not a UVU student, where the shooting occurred on Wednesday.
The press conference came on Friday just hours after President Trump revealed that “a very close person” from the suspect surrendered.
