The shooter who fatally shot Charlie Kirk, the American conservative activist, has been identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah. Robinson was arrested after a two-day manhunt and was apprehended following his father's recognition of him in surveillance images. According to authorities, Robinson became more politically active in recent years and expressed disdain for Kirk, describing him as "full of hate and spreading hate" shortly before the shooting. The attack occurred while Kirk was speaking at Utah Valley University, and Robinson reportedly used a Mauser bolt-action rifle. The family played a role in his surrender to law enforcement, with his father convincing him to turn himself in after he initially resisted. The incident has been described by officials as a "political assassination" and has raised concerns about political violence in the country.
