OREM, Utah (AP) — DNA on a towel wrapped around a rifle found near where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated matched that of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, the accused in the killing, stated FBI Director Kash Patel. Investigators have also linked Robinson to a screwdriver discovered on the rooftop from where the fatal shot was fired. Authorities are preparing to file capital murder charges against Robinson following Kirk's shooting while he was speaking at Utah Valley University. This incident has sparked fears about rising political violence in the polarized landscape of the United States. Reports suggest Robinson held animosity towards Kirk and is believed to have embraced a radical leftist ideology. He allegedly spent considerable time exploring extremist content online. A note found prior to the shooting revealed his intent to target Kirk. Despite his arrest, Robinson has reportedly not cooperated with law enforcement. Memorials for Kirk continue to grow, with mourners gathering at various events across the country. Vice President JD Vance, who considered Kirk a close friend, lamented his loss publicly, emphasizing the void left in the conservative political community.
