• Utah officials say Robinson’s DNA was found on the rifle trigger and court documents describe texts in which he admitted the shooting and referenced Kirk’s “hatred,” while a definitive motive remains unestablished.
• Sheriff Nate Brooksby said Robinson surrendered peacefully at a Washington County office after his parents recognized him in released images and after he expressed fear of being shot by police.
• President Trump, speaking in London, praised Kirk, said he would award a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, and confirmed plans to attend a Sunday memorial as ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s show over remarks about the killing and MSNBC issued an apology for on‑air commentary.
• House Oversight leaders requested testimony from executives at Discord, Steam, Twitch and Reddit on how their platforms address incitement and violence following the campus shooting.
• Competing narratives escalated as Benjamin Netanyahu denounced claims linking Israel to the murder as “insane” and false, Karl Rove warned against blaming a vague collective “they,” and Candace Owens alleged a federal cover‑up involving the suspect’s roommate.
