Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old left-wing terrorist responsible for murdering conservative leader Charlie Kirk, was turned in to the authorities by his own family members. Authorities revealed this Friday during a press conference announcing his capture.
More precisely, it was Robinson's own father who recognized his son from the photos that were released by security forces last Thursday afternoon, who then contacted a religious counselor to help him with his son's surrender.
When confronted by his family about his actions, the shooter confessed to having committed the act and even said that "he did the right thing" by killing Kirk. He was planning to commit suicide at his home, but was stopped by those around him, who recommended that he seek spiritual help.

Trump reported Robinson's arrest this morning
Utah Governor Spencer Cox thanked Tyler Robinson's family for turning him in to the authorities, stating that they "did the right thing." "Robinson had confessed to them that he had committed the attack," the Republican politician said at the press conference.
It is believed that the now-indicted suspect in Kirk's death acted alone. During the search by authorities, investigators spoke with his roommate and saw a series of messages on the Discord platform, where Robinson indicated that the rifle could be found in a wooded area near the university campus.
The bullet casings Robinson used to kill the conservative leader contained slogans such as "Hey, fascist, catch this!", an excerpt from the anti-fascist song "Bella Ciao," internet memes, and messages denouncing an affiliation with the left-wing terrorist group Antifa.
The arrest of the left-wing terrorist was reported by President Donald Trump this morning on television. The murderer now faces state first-degree murder charges that instantly make him eligible for the death penalty by firing squad. He is also expected to be federally indicted, where he will also face the death penalty if convicted.
