Salt Lake City, Utah - On Friday morning, authorities announced that a suspect had been apprehended in relation to the fatal shooting of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk, and shared new details about the crime.

In a press conference, Utah Governor Spencer Cox proudly announced, "We got him."

"On the evening of September 11, a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident," Cox explained.

The conference comes after Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while addressing a large crowd at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

Cox outlined how officers discovered the rifle used in the shooting was found in a nearby neighborhood.

He shared details about engravings that were etched into bullet casings, which included "Notices bulges OWO, what's this?" "Hey Fascists! Catch! [Up arrow, right arrow, and three down arrows]," "Oh, Bella Ciao", and "If you read this you are gay LMAO."

FBI Director Kash Patel praised the work of law enforcement, stating, "This is what happens when you let good cops be cops."

In a message to Kirk, Patel added, "Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you in Valhalla."

While taking questions from reporters, Cox refused to share any details about a possible motive or the political views and affiliations of the shooter, insisting that the investigation is ongoing.

He did reveal that the shooter was not a student at the university, is believed to have acted alone, and said authorities "do not at this time have any information that would lead to any additional arrests."

Cox, on the brink of tears, later declared the incident a "political assassination," lamented that it was "an attack on all of us," and urged young Americans to "build a culture that is very different than what we are suffering through right now" by "embracing our differences and having those hard conversations" as Kirk did.
