NATIONAL NEWS: ARREST IN KIRK SLAYING; POLICE FIND BULLET MESSAGES



UPDATE

A suspect has been arrested in this week's sniper killing of political pundit Charlie Kirk in Utah, the state's governor said Friday.


His family reported the man, aged 22, to authorities.

“I want to thank the family members of Tyler Robinson, who did the right thing in this case and were able to bring him into law enforcement,” Governor Spencer Cox said.

Robinson, a Utah resident, was wearing clothes similar to those on the day of the murder, officials said.

A source told the Daily Sketch the suspect "seems like an internet nihilist." 

Salt Lake City's Deseret News reported police found messages scrawled on bullets including, “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” and “If you read this, you are gay, lmao.”

Lmao generally means "laughing my ass off."

"My understanding is that many of the shell casing messages are memes from an online shooting game," according to the source.

The New York Post said another bullet inscription read “Oh bella ciao" - a reference to an Italian anti-fascist song.
