Our live coverage of the arrest of a suspect in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk has wrapped for the day. Please scroll below to learn about all of today’s developments.

As the internet is awash with assertions on why the suspect allegedly killed Charlie Kirk, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox says he doesn’t think “most people actually mean” calls for war.

“We say stuff like that, and that’s normal. It’s been part of the vernacular. We use it in sports terms. Sometimes we talk about a battle, a war, right? And we now do it in political terms,” Cox said while speaking with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

“I don’t think most people actually mean it because, war is, my kids and my grandkids getting shot in the street. No one wants that,” he said.

Some context: Some conservative voices on the internet have said Charlie Kirk’s death has instigated a “war” between the left and the right, as authorities investigate the suspect’s motivation.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper speaks with Utah Gov. Spencer Cox about how America can heal after the killing of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder, was radicalized “in a fairly short amount of time,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said, but gave no details.

While speaking with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, he said “Nothing stands out the way you would normally expect.”

“You know, this is a good family,” Cox said. “A normal childhood. All of those things that, that you would hope would never lead to something like this. And sadly, it did.”

In her first remarks since his death, Charlie Kirk’s wife Erika Kirk said the movement her husband built “will not die.”

In her first comments after her husband was fatally shot during a public event in Utah Wednesday, Erika Kirk pledged to keep his legacy alive.

“Charlie, I promise I will never let your legacy die, baby,” she said. “I promise I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen.”

Turning Point USA, the political organization founded by Charlie Kirk, caters to conservative youth on American university campuses.

She said when she got home Thursday night, their three-year-old daughter asked: “Where’s daddy?”

“I said, ‘Baby, daddy loves you so much,’” she recalled. “‘Don’t you worry. He’s on a work trip with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry budget.’”

“I can’t wait to see you again one day,” she added, addressing her husband.

Charlie Kirk’s scheduled tour, of university campuses, “The American Comeback Tour,” will continue after his killing, his wife, Erika Kirk, said Friday evening.

“There will be even more tours in the years to come,” she said.

Americafest, Turning Point USA’s annual conference, will still be held in Phoenix, Arizona, in December, she said.

“It will be greater than ever,” she said. “The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of will go on.”

Erika Kirk, the wife of Charlie Kirk, thanked Vice President JD Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance and President Donald Trump for their friendship with her husband and their support since his shooting.

The widow called the vice president a “dear friend” of Charlie Kirk, thanking him and the second lady “for their love and support,” in her first remarks since her husband’s killing.

“You guys honored my husband so well, bringing him home. You both are tremendous,” she said.

Erika Kirk said her husband, Charlie Kirk, “will stand at his savior’s side wearing the glorious crown of a martyr,” in her first public remarks since he was fatally shot at an event Wednesday.

“Charlie always said that when he was gone, he wanted to be remembered for his courage and for his faith,” she said.

She added, “most of all, Charlie loved his children, and he loved me with all of his heart, and I knew that every day.”

Erika Kirk, the wife of Charlie Kirk, thanked local, state and federal law enforcement for arresting the suspect in her husband’s killing.

They “worked tirelessly to capture my husband’s assassin so that he can be brought to justice,” she said.

Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika Kirk, is speaking publicly for the first time since her husband’s death this week.

The couple had two young children together.

The Turning Point USA YouTube channel is streaming her remarks.

Utah Attorney General Derek Brown cannot say yet if they will pursue the death penalty in the suspect of Charlie Kirk’s murder but said, “everything is on the table.”

“That’s clearly part of the issues that we are looking at,” he said while speaking with CNN’s Erin Burnett.

Some context: President Donald Trump said in an interview this morning he hopes the suspected shooter gets the death penalty. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has also said state officials will “pursue the death penalty” in the case.

Erika Kirk, the wife of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, will make her first public address tonight since her husband’s death.

She will speak at 8:15 p.m. ET, Turning Point USA said in a news release.

We will be monitoring the address and will update with details.

New details are emerging about the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk. Right now, he is being held without bail in a Utah jail after a 33-hour manhunt.

Here’s a recap of what we learned in the last several hours:

• Where things stand: The suspect, Tyler Robinson, is being held on several initial charges, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm and obstruction of justice but has not yet been formally charged. He is not talking to investigators, sources said.
• What’s next: Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray plans to file charges on Tuesday, according to a statement. The office said it is currently reviewing evidence. Also on Tuesday, the suspect is expected to make his first court appearance.
• How investigators caught him: Robinson’s father recognized the young man as his son when police released photos yesterday, a law enforcement official told CNN. After confessing to his father, the suspect said he would “rather kill myself than turn myself in,” a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation said. A family friend ultimately contacted authorities, Utah’s governor said.
• New personal details: The suspect is a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College, Utah Valley University, where Kirk was killed, said.
• Discord: The group chat app said its investigation found no evidence the suspect promoted violence or planned the shooting on its platform. Earlier Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the suspect’s roommate showed authorities messages on the app from the suspect.
• Bullet casings: The phrases engraved on ammunition reference video games and an anti-fascist song from Italy, according to an expert. None of the inscriptions are statements or symbols related to transgender people, despite earlier reports they expressed transgender “ideology.”

Roughly 20 recordings of 911 calls from the moments after Charlie Kirk was shot reveal multiple people among hundreds of spectators at his “American Comeback Tour” reported seeing him be struck by the bullet.

One caller said the “current speaker” at Utah Valley University “just got shot in the head,” according to the recordings obtained by CNN.

Another caller described witnessing the shot originating “from above the railing, above the courtyard.”

“He got shot right in the neck,” another 911 caller told dispatch.

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett told an audience in Indiana today that she is concerned about the heated rhetoric and “grotesque” political violence that has crept into American society.

Barrett was promoting her new memoir at the University of Notre Dame.

Barrett said she is also concerned about “online conversations” and “the way that people treat those with whom they disagree” generally.

“That’s just not a way to run a society,” Barrett said.

Misinformation about the man arrested for the murder of Charlie Kirk has swirled on the social media platform X today.

CNN debunks some online theories below:

• Posts falsely claim suspect Tyler Robinson is seen in a photo wearing a shirt associated with the Democratic Socialists of America. Fact: The photo shows a different man who has no connection to the murder.
• Users have shared false claims that federal records show Robinson was a donor to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2020. Fact: The actual donor is a different man with the same first and last name; the suspect has no record of federal election donations.
• A doctored image purports to show Robinson wearing a pro-Trump shirt. Fact: The image was created from a photo of Robinson wearing a plain shirt without any political messages.
• Users have falsely claimed Robinson is a registered Republican. Fact: Robinson is registered as unaffiliated with a political party and is listed as “inactive,” meaning he hasn’t voted in either of the last two general elections.
• Posts falsely claiming Robinson’s father works or worked in the sheriff’s office in Washington County, Utah. Fact: The sheriff’s office issued a statement debunking the claim, saying a retired deputy who also has the last name Robinson is “NOT connected or related to” the suspect.

A Secret Service agent has been placed on leave after making a social media post criticizing Charlie Kirk for spewing “hate and racism on his show” following the right-wing commentator’s murder.

The agent, Anthony Pough, wrote the Facebook post Wednesday. He said in the post, “At the end of the day, you answer to GOD, and speak things into existence. You can only circumvent karma, she doesnt leave.”

He was placed on leave shortly after making the post.

In a statement, the Secret Service said they “will not tolerate behavior that violates our code of conduct.”

“This employee was immediately put on administrative leave, and an investigation has begun,” the statement said. CNN has attempted to reach Pough for comment.

The father of the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect urged his son to turn himself in to authorities yesterday after he confessed, to which the suspect responded: “I would rather kill myself than turn myself in,” said CNN chief law enforcement analyst John Miller, citing a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation who characterized the conversation.

Tyler Robinson’s father was becoming convinced the shooter might be his son after recognizing him in photos released by authorities and he confronted him. “Tyler, is this you? This looks like you,” he asked the 22-year-old, the law enforcement source told Miller.

The suspect’s father then persuaded him to talk to a youth pastor who works with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the US Marshal’s Service. During that conversation, Robinson admitted to the crime, according to the source.

Robinson was taken into custody around 10 p.m. local time last night, the FBI said.

Earlier today, Utah Governor Spencer Cox described how authorities discovered phrases engraved on ammunition that was found with a rifle near where Charlie Kirk was murdered.

Cox read out those inscriptions at a news conference — but the phrases themselves are full of memes and jokes potentially meant for an online audience, one expert said.

The alleged shooter references video games and an anti-fascist song from Italy, according to Jamie Cohen, a professor at Queens College, City University of New York and an expert in memes and digital culture.

Cohen, who has written extensively about the internet and its culture, said the engravings could indicate that the suspect is an “extremely online person” and may have been trying to communicate with his inner circle.

Particularly in the context of mass shooters and extremist groups, memes are often designed to attract media attention and disseminate that group’s message into the mainstream, Cohen said.

Cohen said memes often refer to other memes, which can make it hard to know exactly what the suspect was trying to convey. “Memes contain multitudes,” Cohen said, noting that you have to take out a lot of context to make them shareable. So — as with some things on the internet — the messages could mean nothing at all, he added.

With that in mind, here’s what some of the inscriptions might mean:

• Up arrow symbol, right arrow, and three down arrows: This could be in reference to the video game Helldivers 2, describing how a player would use the controller to drop a bomb.
• “Hey, fascist! Catch!”: Gov. Cox, at the news conference, interpreted this as a straightforward message. “I think that speaks for itself,” he said. But, it also could be a reference to the Helldivers game, which itself is a satirical commentary on fascism, as something the player says when they drop a bomb.
• “Bella Ciao”: Not exactly a meme, this phrase refers to the Italian anti-fascist song from WWII, Cohen said.
• “Notices bulges OwO what’s this?” This meme comes from furry subculture and is a reference to roleplay or cringy flirting, Cohen explained.

Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly characterized details about the furry subculture.

Utah County Attorney’s Office is expecting that suspected shooter Tyler Robinson will make his first court appearance on Tuesday after attorney Jeff Gray files charges in the killing of Charlie Kirk on the same day.

“Assuming all goes as planned and we file charges on Tuesday, Mr. Robinson’s first appearance will be Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. MDT,” according to Christopher Ballard, chief of staff at the public information office at Utah County attorney’s office.

It will be a virtual hearing, he added.
