The man who allegedly killed Charlie Kirk previously shared his hatred for the influencer and had engraved bullet casings with troubling messages that appear to reveal his political motives for the shooting, Utah's governor has revealed.
Tyler Robinson, 22, was turned in by his own father and arrested on Thursday night for the shooting of Kirk at his 'American Comeback Tour' event at Utah Valley University.
Kirk was shot in the neck at the event during a debate with a student about mass shootings, with horrifying footage showing him recoil from the impact before he was later pronounced dead.
At a press conference on Friday morning, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said that investigators learned from Robinson's family that he had become more political in recent times, and had recently expressed his dislike for Kirk, describing him to his family as 'full of hate.'
He also said that bullet casings loaded into the rifle were engraved with a series of phrases, many of which appeared to reference internet memes and anti-fascist messages.
