Trump claimed they had the shooter on Fox and Friends.

Just saw pics of the gun used. Looking at suspect and gun it's a wonder he hit anything. I can't imagine what the suspects father is feeling. So many life's ruined by this act.

Great job for all involved in the apprehension and the quick arrest. We are grateful.

 

[GaryS]

Yes, they do. Press conference going on as I type this.

At the news conference ongoing, it was said to be a Mauser 98. I saw a poor quality picture of the rifle yesterday, and it appeared to be a sporterized Model 98. Earlier reports said it was a Mauser 19 Savanna. Looking at the picture, no way it could have been a Savanna. Caliber of the recovered rifle had been stated earlier as a .30-06, but no mention of the caliber was made in the news conference.

Inscriptions on the bullet cases tell the story. Hate with a laugh.

I am glad, sad and mad. Our society has become very, very sick.
What are we teaching our young?

Looks to me like a 98 in a plastic stock with a crudely mounted scope.

so how long before they pull the plug on this "suspect"....

 

[robertrwalsh]

The investigative power of the government is truly formidable when they choose to use it.

 

[Rudi]

Very good news. Utah uses the firing squad in death penalty cases. Have seat punk.

He was turned in by his father, not a lot of work involved.

I heard that the father talked to his pastor first and then turned his son in. I' wonder if he'll claim the $100K reward...

We locked a previous thread on the Kirk assassination because it went political. Don't do that here....

 

[Doug M.]

The inability of every part of the political spectrum to engage in civil discourse, and the entitled views of those who think they can apply violence to those with whom they disagree, does not speak well of our society. The answer to people with whom you disagree is debate; if the disagreement is really substantial, the response is avoidance. It sure as hell is not hunting them down and shooting them.

I'll wager he would have been apprehended pretty soon anyway, the heat was on…

 

[K Frame Keith]

Chad, Charlie Kirk's murder was political, however our response to this heinous act shouldn't be. I happened to agree with Charlie on most issues. Others obviously disagreed with him. Violence can never be an acceptable response to a political difference of opinion. Anyone saying they deplore his murder and following with the inevitable "but" is still justifying violence. Just my humble opinion.

 

[AudieMurphy]

curious if the ATF ran a serial number search on the rifle...even of where/how he obtained it. yes I heard it was legally bought

Heed swchads word.
