HURRICANE, Washington County — Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby says he was winding down for the evening on Sept. 11 when he got a phone call from a friend who is a retired deputy.

“I can tell his voice is kind of shaky, so my first thought is, ‘Who died? Who is he going to tell me that died?’ And then I couldn’t fathom what actually came out of his mouth.

“He said, ‘Hey, I know who Charlie Kirk’s shooter is. I know the family through religious association. … He’s in Washington County now and we’re working on trying to get him to come in voluntarily,'” Brooksby said.
