The suspect is still at large - officials earlier said they found a high-powered rifle in woods near where Kirk was shot.
Also, “high powered rifle” essentially means “not a 22”.

The suspect was just arrested and identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. It sounds like his own father turned him in.
I don’t have an unpaywalled link yet.
It sounds like his own father turned him in.
Now that’s a horrible parent.
Why would you tell anyone at all about that? Why do these shooters seem to be so bad at getting away?
Word I’ve seen is that his dad saw the images, confronted him, he caved.
Dude, you’re not going home after that. You’re going to Mexico and beyond. Note to self: Spend ten times planning the escape as you spend planning the caper.
Maybe he’s terrible, maybe he was brainwashed by the system, or maybe this article was created by AI.
Heard on the news this morning that his dad was/is a pastor and snitched on him to a US Marshall.
So yeah, brainwashed. His own kid will probably get the death penalty for fighting back against the fascists.
Of course, this could all just be a scapegoat to cover for the FBI’s gross incompetence just like the United Healthcare CEO killing. Can’t have the bastards lose face, so they’ll pin it on someone, anyone who fits the bill.
I’ve been seeing a lot of
goodnew information here:https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-death-09-12-25?t=1757688390480
Damn, why do I see memes with this guy everywhere?
Crowder, just as big of piece of shit as Charlie
The Luigi snitch didn’t get the money.
They found their scapegoat.
Looks like Baron Trump to me
Doesn’t look like anything to me.
I bet whoever did this will have a dozen people claiming he or she was at a party far far away…
Never heard of him, moving on…
Cartridges with “transgender and anti-fascist” writing on them were found.
Why would somebody smart enough to evade capture, and dump the weapon in the woods, leave a cutesy little note on the cartridge clearly identifying their political beliefs?
Why is this like the 3rd high profile murder that seems to be tipping us towards civil war, where the killer has allegedly done this?
How did that old man end up in handcuffs if this is the guy they were looking for? Why did it take so long to release this image? So many questions.
Why would somebody smart enough to evade capture, and dump the weapon in the woods, leave a cutesy little note on the cartridge clearly identifying their political beliefs?
I think they identified their political beliefs when they murdered a right wing talking head. That was the whole point.
Was it the point though? Bc on Wednesday, hours before that hit job, the Senate called for a probe into the biggest fish they could possibly catch in the Epstein investigation including Peter Thiel, JP Morgan, and other banks
It would require at least some Republicans to join the investigation, but doing so would definitely make a lot of powerful people very angry. Instead of anybody hearing anything about that investigation though, or who might be considering joining in, Charlie Kirk was suddenly assassinated. Now most Republicans seem to be calling for war on the left like their lives depend on it.
Ah, so we’re going with conspiracy theories, eh?
Ah you’re right, how silly of me. There is nothing to see here. When you ignore all the things that don’t make any sense, a 22 yo lefty sharp shooter who snuck an old time rifle onto a roof and got in a single kill shot, then jumped from the roof and escaped on foot bc he was out for blood against a famous right wing podcaster, actually makes perfect sense. Please forgive me and ignore.
Ce n’est pas une conspiration
The images are unnecessary, we all know what’s happening with Epstein and we’re all capable of clicking links.
What about this situation doesn’t make sense?
I just said it all makes perfect sense. A kid who isn’t registered to a political party and didn’t vote in the last two elections suddenly became a radicalized leftist sharp shooter. And a relative confirmed they talked about how they both disliked Kirk once over a dinner. Story checks out.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/12/us/tyler-robinson-charlie-kirk-shooting-suspect-invs
I mean most people literally didn’t know about that call for an investigation into Epstein, Thiel, and JP Morgan bc it was literally only made a few hours before Kirk was assassinated. Just can’t really see why it’s a bad thing for more people to know about that?
I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. From what I know, it makes perfect sense.
It’s a lie. the manufacturer’s code “TRN” was on it. That’s it
MAGA will use this transgender piece to put all transgender citizens in camps. They already have the camps made. It begins here.
They were already going to.
Cartridges with “transgender and anti-fascist” writing on them were found.
Unsurprisingly, barely any of the media is reporting that correctly.
That’s how it was described by government officials when leaked to specific news agencies and kept extremely vague. “Transgender and anti-fascist” writing could mean “we have equal rights” or “gun control is safety” for all we know, but now the narrative is out there for them finding “evidence” that the perpetrator is {insert some trigger word for groups that the right already thinks is trying to destroy them}.
They’re dogwhistles for the 3%-ers and proud boys or however they call themselves these days to start hunting leftwingers.
Keep yourselves safe, people!
It’s interesting how the word “ideology” is just a spooky word used. Most people hearing this and getting enraged don’t even know what the fuck it means. It’s like asking a maga person to clearly define the word “economy.”
the economy is what the oligarchs tell them it is. They have no free thinking ability. They just shovel down what the ruling class and super wealthy give to them.
Early reporting on stuff like this is almost always wrong, so take it with a grain of salt. We have no idea who is spreading that info and it could very well be intentional misinfo.
A week from now it won’t matter that the reporting was wrong because it’s already fact in the minds of their audience.
“A lie travels half way around the world while the truth is still putting on its pants.”
lol I think it’s “boots”
Why did the truth have their pants down
The truth is naked most of the time. Only puts pants on for pressers because American’s are too prudish to handle the naked truth.
Idk do you always wear pants? Cuz I never wear em if I have the choice
Much harder for me to conceal carry without pants.
I just use my prison wallet
Wait are we talking about rifles
Realistically, the minds of the audience were made up before the reporting. ;) The reporting just confirms what they already “know”.
Looks like the “engraved cartridges” story is coming from the Wall Street Journal. So, Murdoch.
Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, according to an internal law-enforcement bulletin and a person familiar with the investigation.
Without the actual text, for all we know, it says “we all have rights”. I would be entirely unsurprised if a right-wing agency head decides that it warrants looking into left-leaning individuals, then someone leaks it to the press to start the dissemination of that narrative that it was proved to be a left-wing shooter before anyone actually caught him.
Without seeing it for all we know it says Remington.
How did that old man end up in handcuffs if this is the guy they were looking for?
That was a long time ago, relatively speaking. Well before they had collected any video whatsoever.
Why did it take so long to release this image?
It takes a good deal of time to acquire and scour through all the video available. They initially thought they would be able to identify this person without releasing images, and probably didn’t want another lionization as with Not Luigi. I guess that didn’t pan out.
That was a long time ago, relatively speaking. Well before they had collected any video whatsoever.
🤣 That was less than 24 hrs ago!
They had to have some reason for saying “that guy right there.”
relatively speaking
It’s fucking obvious propaganda bullshit.
Dumping the weapons in the woods not far from the university is a pretty shit way tbh. Weapons are extremely traceable and contain a shitload of DNA evidence. You’d rather be able to get it further out and dump it with weights into a deep fast flowing river.
Yeah, that seems like a no-brainer, especially for someone who obviously planned it out and got away. I’m skeptical that whatever they’ve found is actually the murder weapon.
Lol whut. Maybe you are just joking, but finding a random rifle isn’t exactly just a common occurrence. They’re expensive and it’s not like people who own them like to leave them in the woods for storage.
Sure, but the video shows the gunman running away without a rifle, and dropping from the roof again, without a rifle. It shows a backpack that is far too small to conceal a rifle in the hands of the gunman- so did they cover it in a white towel and throw it into the woods from the roof or what? Lots of things aren’t adding up yet, and I’m the first person to decry blueanon conspiracy theories.
Rifles can be disassembled. This is what Ear Shooter did to get in. I’m still curious to know how long it takes to pull an old Mauser down to backpack size.
If you train well. You can learn to disassemble one in 10-20 secs. Depending on model.
“Older model Mauser 30-06.” Would that break down small enough to fit in a backpack? I know it’s hard to say without more specifics, but I’m real curious.
Saw that, too. I am reserving my thoughts on that until more information comes out.
This entire event is bullshit.
are you seeing that in the article?
It was in the abc article
This looks like at least three different people I know, not that they did it. Just want to point out that this guy is probably 35+ and not actually college age as they said theyve been looking for. Hes a dead ringer for older guy that looks young, yet they are looking for a 20 year old
That’s from other reporting, but it is being reported from legitimate sources.
People need to stop celebrating the shooter! I’m absolutely disgusted and ashamed by their actions. Charlie Kirk was doing nothing but sitting there giving a speech. This was in the middle of the day, there were clear sky’s and the sun was shining directly on Charlie, as if he was chosen to deliver an important message. Than the shooter shot at him. I’ll say it as it is, nothing was between Charlie and the shooter that warranted this.
So how could the shooter miss the shot at Charlie Kirk’s large ass head and hit him in neck instead! Embarrassing, do better on the next fascist.
So he could feel himself dying
I downvoted and almost stopped reading. Thankfully I finished.
Idk that tiny-ass face makes for a shit target. Imagine a bullseye that’s all bull and no eye
I prefer tiny ass-face, but tomato tomato.
Hey maybe the McDonalds people could stfu this time
Speaking of the devil. Did any award money in the Luigi case actually get distributed? If not, are there reasonable conditions not met yet?
I saw a theory the other day that there was no tip from an McDonald’s employee. The authorities might’ve used some illegal surveillance to find him and just said it was a tip from an employee to avoid acknowledging that.
Which is funny because his lawyers will definitely ask for this info in discovery and it will come out anyways. Also if they found him using illegal tech they could argue it in his favor.
That’s why they were trying to push the McDonald’s narrative, they probably just couldn’t find a patsy to take the heat there.
The existence of “stingrays” (fake cell towers used to surveil protesters and others) was made public due to legal discovery.
Yeah, if you look, they never actually said it was an employee.
No, the McDonalds worker didn’t get the ‘reward’ money because they called local police instead of the CrimeStoppers number when they reported it.
Ain’t that a shame. Who could have guessed that would happen? Not the opportunistic class-traitor, that’s for sure.
I think the guy got a firm handshake from one of the deputies.
This comment has confused me.
e: OHHHHHHHHH
People who go to McDonald’s are mostly right wing.
Remember, if you recognise him - you don’t.
I kinda hope it’s some unabashed fascist with a wildly incriminating conservative digital footprint. I want there to be no question how off the deep end this guy is. I want all of these soon to be deleted tweets about leftist violence to be gotcha moments to these fuckers.
I would love for it to be a Groyper just to have every conservative awkwardly ignore that the past couple days happened and scramble to cover their tracks.
Edit: They have now been named as Tyler Robinson, and the evidence points to them being very much in-line with Antifa 😔
Allegedly the casing had “Hey fascist, catch!” written on it- so we’re gonna have another day or so before there’s any sort of defining knowledge about his ideologic inconsistencies. The damage is already done though, they’ve been using this as a call for war for the past 48 hours, the lie has made its way all the way around the world before the truth had a chance to be identified in any meaningful capacity.
CNN reporting that
“Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read ‘Hey, fascist, exclamation point, catch, exclamation point. Up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol and three down arrow symbols,’” [Utah Governor Spencer] Cox said.
And that (among other things):
Robinson at the [family] dinner said “Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” according to the relative’s account related by Cox.
https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-death-09-12-25?t=1757688390480
He put the Antifa ↓↓↓ on there too, though. Along with another casing with the lyrics to Bella Ciao. I can’t see someone that’s not in the anti-fascist space thinking of putting those markings onto casings, honestly.
““Hey fascist! Catch!” followed by an up arrow symbol, a right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols”
That’s a Helldivers 2 reference, specifically for the “Eagle 500kg Bomb” stratagem. It is not the anti-fascist symbol, he could have used three diagonal down to the left arrows if he wanted to, but he did not.
Looks like the story keeps changing, it was being reported as “three down arrows” a few hours ago, now, as you say, “an up, right and three down arrows” which I absolutely agree is a Helldivers 2 reference.
Just like the supposed “transgender ideology” that turned out to be the TRN stamp from Turan Ammo, I daresay the details of the other engravings will change a couple more times before they actually release pictures of them.
That’s what’s being reported, yes. But law enforcement also called such engravings “transgender”, which is wholly unsupported by any reporting, so I’m going to hard side eye what law enforcement has to say about it.
Even if you really need that $100,000 reward, they’ll screw you out of it just like they did that person who reported Luigi Mangione. Collaborating with fascists won’t even get you your thirty pieces of silver.
Collaborating with fascists won’t even get you your thirty pieces of silver
30 pieces of lead look kind of like silver if you squint hard enough while bleeding out from them. Just saying. It’s not like you get nothing from collaborating with fascists.
Hey he looks like 15 random names I just found in the phone book
Honestly, this grainy photo could be five or six guys I do know. (Except they were all here yesterday, so couldn’t have been, but yeah.)
Can we focus on more important things?
How about them Epstein files?
Where are they? And who is hiding them?
Kash Patel is hiding them because the deep state he said he’d dismalntle told him how easy it was to make him and his loved ones suffer and disappear.
Not sure where.
But isn’t he in power now? He should have direct access to them correct? Why isn’t he releasing them like he said he would? This doesn’t make any sense? Unless hunters laptop? Where is the laptop?
Plot twist: Russia is the deep state.
They do have that big burning hole.
It’s what he would have wanted.
It’s what he needed to do to protect our second amendment rights. Somebody should make a crucifix of him hanging on that is made of guns. Trump will probably beat everybody to market with the merch though. Maybe a KirkCoin scam…
“Weapon found was imported Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle”
So a typical deer rifle.
How hilarious would it be if that wasn’t the murder weapon and the shooter planted it ahead of time as a distraction.
Considering the photos from the stairwell don’t show him with a gun, that’s an acceptable theory.
New photos show a backpack, room enough in there for a disassembled Mauser 30.06.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never disassembled a Mauser, but I can say, just the wood furniture alone on my Remington 721 .30-06 would not fit in a backpack.
Maybe the specific model he used is different? I dunno. My mares’s leg would fit in a backpack, but not a long rifle.
I’m also curious about how long it takes to pull it down to backpack size.
And the way they were talking about it being found, no mention of the backpack, why would he take the rifle (parts) out of the backpack and leave them in the woods if they were already hidden in a backpack? Why not just … keep walking with a backpack?
