Introduction \u2013 Sept 15, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We aren\u2019t buying the line that Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk. For a start, allegations that he was responsible for shooting Kirk are based on claims Robinson made in an online forum, and he may have been joking.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s hardly conclusive evidence.<\/p>\n

No, what really makes us doubt media claims that Robinson shot Charlie Kirk is that whoever did so must have been a trained marksman.<\/p>\n

The distance between the alleged gunman\u2019s firing position and Charlie Kirk was 130 meters. To successfully kill someone at that range and kill them with one shot takes the skill of a marksman, which requires some training.<\/p>\n

Tyler Robinson did NOT have any military training or sniper training. We therefore suspect that someone else, a highly trained sniper, pulled the trigger. Robinson is just the fall guy. Ed.<\/p>\n

Utah governor says alleged Kirk shooter not cooperating with authorities<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Gov. Spencer Cox, R-Utah, said Sunday that the suspect in the shooting<\/a> that killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk is not cooperating with authorities.<\/p>\n

“He has not confessed to, to authorities. He is, he is, he is not cooperating, but, but, but all the people around him are cooperating. And I think that’s, that’s, that’s very important,” Cox told ABC News’ “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz.<\/p>\n

Authorities identified Kirk’s alleged shooter as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who now remains in custody. Charges are expected to be formally filed on Tuesday, Cox said.<\/p>\n

Cox was also asked about a Sunday New York Times report<\/a> that alleged Robinson had communicated with others on Discord after the shooting. The Times reported Robinson had made jokes about being the alleged gunman.<\/p>\n

“All we can confirm is that those conversations definitely were happening, and they did not believe it was actually him. It was, it was all joking until, until he, you know, until he admitted that it actually was him,” he said.<\/p>\n

Authorities are reviewing a group chat between several people joking about how the shooter looked like Robinson, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.<\/p>\n

The messages were exchanged on Discord in the hours after the shooting, according to sources who told ABC News that one of the participants in the chat is believed to be Robinson, who allegedly made a comment in the chat about the killer being his “doppelganger.”<\/p>\n

In a statement to ABC News on Friday, a Discord spokesperson said, “[W]e identified a Discord account associated with the suspect but have found no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord. The messages referenced in recent reporting about planning details do not appear to be Discord messages. These were communications between the suspect\u2019s roommate and a friend after the shooting, where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.”<\/p>\n

The Utah governor, who has been the public face of the investigation, also addressed reports Saturday that the suspect’s roommate is transitioning from male to female.<\/p>\n

Cox previously told the Wall Street Journal that Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.” Asked if investigators have uncovered evidence to show that, Cox replied, “Well, so far that — that has come from his acquaintance and his family members. That’s where that initial information has come from. Certainly, there will be much more information that is released in the charging documents as they’re bringing all of that together.”<\/p>\n
