According to the recordings obtained by CNN, one caller said the “current speaker” at Utah Valley University “just got shot in the head.” Meanwhile, another caller claimed to have witnessed the shot originating “from above the railing, above the courtyard.” “He got shot right in the neck,” another 911 caller told dispatch.
Charlie Kirk shooting suspect arrested
Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah man was arrested in the killing of Kirk, authorities said Friday (September 12, 2025). “We got him,” Gov. Spencer Cox told reporters at a news conference announcing the arrest of Tyler Robinson in Wednesday’s killing of Kirk at Utah Valley University, as quoted by news agency AP. He was taken into custody Thursday night and is due in court early next week. Investigators believe he acted alone.
Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was a top podcaster, culture warrior and ally of President Donald Trump. He led an effort to remake the GOP’s get-out-the-vote effort in the 2024 election based on the theory there were thousands of Trump supporters who rarely vote but could be persuaded to do so.
His killing was the latest in a string of attacks on U.S. politicians that have targeted members of both major parties. Cox, a Republican, said a family member of Robinson’s reached out to a friend, who contacted authorities with information that Robinson had confessed or implied that he carried out the shooting. “I want to thank the family members of Tyler Robinson who did the right thing,” he said.
