Overview
- An NYPD counterterrorism assessment warns that high-profile killings are resonating with violent extremists and could spur further attacks, especially at open-air events.
- Investigators say online ecosystems may enable lone attackers to draw tactics and justification from prior incidents and to amplify propaganda.
- Tyler Robinson, the suspected gunman in Charlie Kirk’s killing, is expected to face capital murder charges in Utah on Tuesday, with authorities citing possible online radicalization.
- In Manhattan on Tuesday, Judge Gregory Carro is set to consider defense motions to dismiss Luigi Mangione’s state case on double jeopardy grounds, challenge terrorism counts, and suppress evidence, and he may set a schedule or order further hearings.
- Prosecutors point to Mangione’s diary and writings to support a terrorism enhancement in the state case, while a separate federal case pursuing the death penalty alleges stalking and, prosecutors argue, does not raise double jeopardy issues.
