Police have arrested Tyler Robinson in connection with the shooting death of political pundit Charlie Kirk, Gov. Spencer Cox said Friday.

The arrest puts an end to a manhunt that launched in the immediate aftermath of the deadly Wednesday afternoon shooting at Utah Valley University.

“This is certainly about the tragic death, assassination, political assassination of Charlie Kirk,” Cox said. “But it’s also so much bigger than an attack on an individual. It’s an attack on all of us. It’s an attack on the American experiment.”

Robinson is being held in the Utah County Jail, Cox said. The suspect’s family and a friend, the governor said, turned him over to law enforcement in Washington County. Robinson lived with his family in Washington City, Cox said.
