Alleged Engraved Messages on Bulle…
Following the capture of the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect, Utah Governor Spencer Cox spoke to reporters, including about messages investigators claim were found on a fired bullet casing and three unfired casings.
“We got him,” Cox said Friday morning. “On the evening of September 11th, a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them, or implied that he had committed the incident.”
Later, Cox spoke of the casings, alleging that one unfired casing had been engraved with “Hey fascist, catch” and that another had been engraved with “If you read this you are gay LMAO.”
Inscribed on the fired casing, allegedly, was “Notices bulges OwO what’s this?” Another alleged unfired casing inscription, meanwhile, was said by Cox to read “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao.”
Worth noting here amid such reports is that criticism has persisted over the messaging many have been quick to run with in the wake of the deadly Kirk shooting. Trump himself, in the same Fox News appearance during which he announced the suspect’s capture on Friday, predictably attempted to point the finger at what he described as “the radicals on the left” when asked how to “fix” the country, prompting immediate pushback.
Robinson, to be clear, has been reported to have been registered to vote in Utah, albeit without a specific party declaration. Per the Wall Street Journal, his two parents are registered Republicans.
Kirk was speaking at an event in Utah when he was fatally shot in the neck on Sept. 10.
