• 8:22
  Speaker 1: several hundred people attended. Mister Kirk was interacting with the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: crowd before the event officially got under way. Then, approximately
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: at noon, mister Kirk seated himself under a portable canopy
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: behind a table and microphone. He began speaking to the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: crowd and fielding questions from attendees, a format mister Kirk
• 8:40

  Speaker 1: transgender individuals when a gunshot rang out. The bullet struck

  Speaker 1: directly in front of mister Kirk. Children were visible near

  Speaker 1: The medical examiner's report is pending. The UVU surveillance investigation.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: At the moment of the shot. A UVU police officer
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: was watching the crowd from an elevated vantage point. As
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: soon as he heard the shot, he began to scan
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the area for threats. Believing the shot came from a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: rifle because of its sound, he looked for potential sniper positions.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He noted a roof area approximately one hundred and sixty
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: yards away from mister Kirk as a potential shooting position
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and rushed there to look for evidence. The suspected shooting
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: position is adjacent to an open, publicly accessible walkway. To
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: access the suspected location, a person must climb over a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: railing and then drop to the roof only slightly below
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: The UVU officer climbed over the railing and down onto
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the roof. He then walked to the suspected shooting position
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and confirmed a clear shooting corridor between the position and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: mister Kirk's seat. He also noticed markings in the gravel
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: rooftop consistent with a sniper having lain on the roof,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: impressions in the gravel potentially left by the elbows, knees,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and feet of a person in a prone shooting position.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Police reviewed surveillance from the camera covering the roof and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: discovered that it recorded an individual dressed in dark clothing,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: crossed the railing from the public walkway and dropped onto
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the roof at approximately twelve to fifteen PM. Although the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: individual moved out of the camera's view for a short time,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the camera again captured the individual running across the roof
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and then low crawling to the area the UVU officer
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: recognized as where the suspected sniper had dropped into a
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: prone shooting position. After a short time, which matches the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: known time of the shot, the individual arose and ran
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: across the roof to the northeast. The discovery led to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: an intensive review of uvu A surveillance recordings to attempt
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to track and identify the suspect. Surveillance revealed the following
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: At approximately eleven fifty one am, the suspect entered campus
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: from the north. He is seen wearing a black shirt
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: with an American flag in its center, a dark baseball cap,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and large sunglasses. Throughout the surveillance, the suspect keeps his
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: head down and rarely raises his head enough to get
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a clear image of his face. As he proceeds across campus.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: He is seen walking with an unusual gate. The suspect
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: walks with very little bending in his right leg, consistent
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: with a rifle being hidden in his pants. This unusual
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: gate continues until the suspect is seen crossing the railing,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: off the open walkway and onto the roof, where he
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: leaves the camera's view. A camera later captures the suspect
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: as he runs across the roof to the suspected shooting position.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Immediately after the shot was fired, A camera captures the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: suspect running across the roof carrying an item whose shape
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: is consistent with a rifle. The suspect is then seen
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: climbing down from the roof. He appears to drop the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: item he was carrying as he hits the ground in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a controlled fall. He then picks up the item and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: runs toward the northeast end of the campus. Expanded crime
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: scene investigation law enforcement officers followed the suspect's escape paths
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to the northeast end of the campus, where they believed
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the suspect left campus and entered a wooded area. In
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that wooded area, investigators found a bolt action rifle wrapped
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in a towel. The rifle contained one spent round and
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: three unspent rounds. This is consistent with the fax officers
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: observed at the time of and immediately after the shooting.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: No shellcasings were found on the roof, suggesting a bolt
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: action rather than an auto loading weapon, and only a
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: single round was fired. Each round in the rifle contained
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: an etched inscription as follows. Fired cartridge No Tye's bulge.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: O wo what's this? Second cartridge? Hey? Fascist? Catch? Third cartridge?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Oh bella chow bella chow bella chow chow chow. Fourth cartridge.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: If you read this, you are gay LMAO. The rifle, ammunition, rounds,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and towels were sent for forensic processing. DNA consistent with
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Robinson's was found on the trigger, other parts of the rifle,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the fired cartridge, casing, two of the three unfired cartridges,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and the towel. Law enforcement was unable to immediately locate
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the shooter, so they published photos of the shooter from
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the UVU surveillance cameras and asked for the public's help
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to identify him. Meanwhile, law enforcement continued to try to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: identify the shooter through other means. The Washington County investigation
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: on the evening of September eleven, twenty twenty five, as
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: law enforcement continued their investigation, Tyler James Robinson went to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the Washington County Sheriff's office with his parents and a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: family friend to turn himself. Inson's mother stated the following
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to police. On September eleven, twenty twenty five, the day
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: after the shooting, Robinson's mother saw the photo of the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: shooter in the news and thought the shooter looked like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: her son. Robinson's mother called her son and asked him
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: where he was. He said he was at home sick,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and that he had also been at home sick on
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: September tenth. Robinson's mother expressed concern to her husband that
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the suspected shooter looked like Robinson. Robinson's father agreed. Robinson's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: had become more political and had started to lean more
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to the left, becoming more pro gay and trans rights oriented.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: biological male who was transitioning genders. This resulted in several
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: discussions with family members, but especially between Robinson and his father,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: who have very different political views. In one conversation before
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the shooting, Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk would be holding
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: an event UVU, which Robinson said was a quote stupid
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: venue for the event. Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Robinson's father reported that when his wife showed him the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: surveillance image of the suspected shooter in the news, he
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: agreed that it looked like their son. He also believed
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that the rifle that police suspected the shooter used matched
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a rifle that was given to his son as a gift.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: As a result, Robinson's father contacted his son and asked
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: him to send a photo of the rifle. Robinson did
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: not respond. However, Robinson's father spoke on the phone with Robinson.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Robinson implied that he planned to take his own life.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Robinson's parents were able to convince him to meet at
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: their home. As they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: he was the shooter and stated that he couldn't go
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to jail and just wanted to end it. When asked
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: why he did it, Robinson explained, there is too much
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: evil and the guy Charlie Kirk spreads too much hate.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: They talked about Robinson turning himself and convinced Robinson to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: speak with a family friend who was a retired deputy sheriff.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: At robinson father's request, the family friend met with Robinson
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and his parents and convinced Robinson to turn himself in.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: The family friend spoke to police and reported telling Robinson
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that it would be best if he brought all evidence
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: with him to the sheriff's office to avoid police having
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to search his parents home. The family friend also asked
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Robinson if he had any clothes that were related to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: what he did. Robinson replied that he had disposed of
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: his clothes in different areas. The roommate. Police interviewed Robinson's roommate,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a biological male who was involved in a romantic relationship
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: with Robinson. The roommate told police that the roommate received
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: messages from Robinson about the shooting and provided those messages
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: to police. On September ten, twenty twenty five, the roommate
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: received a text message from Robinson which said, drop what
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you're doing, look under my keyboard. The roommate looked under
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the keyboard and found a note This stated quote, I
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: going to take it unquote. Police found a photograph of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: this note. The following text exchange then took place. After
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: reading the note, the roommate responded to quote, what question mark?
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: You're joking, right, Robinson? I am still okay, my love,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: but am stuck in orum for a little while longer
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: yet shouldn't be long until I can come home. But
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I got to grab my rifle still. To be honest,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I had hoped to keep this secret till I died
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: of old age. I'm sorry to involve you. The roommate writes,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you weren't the one who did it, right, Robinson, I am.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, roommate. I thought they caught the person, Robinson. Nope,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: my drop point shortly after, but most of that side
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: of town got logged down. It's quiet, almost enough to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: get out, but there's one vehicle lingering. Roommate, Why Robinson?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Why did I do it? Roommate? Yeah, Robinson, I had
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: if I'm able to grab my rifle unseen, I will
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Hopefully they've moved on. I haven't seen anything about them
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: finding it. Roommate, how long have you been planning this, Robinson?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: A bit over a week. I believe I can get
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: close to it, but there's a squad car park right
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: by it. I think they already swept that spot, but
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want to chance it, Robinson. I'm wishing I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: had to circle back and grabbed it as soon as

  Speaker 1: I got to my vehicle. I'm worried what my old
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: man would do if I didn't bring back Grandpa's rifle.

  Speaker 1: the ability or time to bring it with. I might
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: have to abandon it and hope they don't find Prince.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: How the blank will I explain losing it to my
• 20:14

• 20:17
  Speaker 1: wrapped in a towel. Remember how I was engraving bullets.

• 20:31
  Speaker 1: might have a stroke. All right, I'm going to have
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to leave it. That really effing sucks. Judging from today,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I'd say Grandpa's gun does just fine. I DK I
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: think that was a two thousand dollars scope. Robinson writes,
