Overview

• Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested in Washington County after relatives helped identify him from images, and officials say he is expected to face murder and weapons charges.
• Authorities say a bolt‑action .30‑caliber Mauser wrapped in a towel, shell casings with messages including “Hey, fascist. Think fast,” and Discord messages about a rifle and ammunition tie the suspect to the attack.
• Officials report the suspect’s clothing and a gray Dodge Challenger matched surveillance from the Utah Valley University event, and they believe he acted alone as the forensic review continues.
• Erika Kirk pledged to continue Turning Point USA’s work and keep university tour dates, sharing an emotional video message and promising her husband’s mission “will not die.”
• President Trump praised Kirk and said he would award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom and plans to attend an Arizona funeral, while disciplinary actions and firings over inflammatory posts were reported across U.S. institutions.
