I'm interested in the family interaction prior to the murder. How much did they know, why wasn't it reported, etc.
Do they have the shooter? YES!

Yesterday my wife was home soaking up everything the media was putting out from all these so called experts. Never heard of some guy named Willie Cunningham, but she sent me a screenshot of some stuff he said. I'm just shaking my head at some of it.

No expert here, but that looks fake to me.The is a video out that showed Kirk was wearing a vest under his shirt and that the bullet struck the west, apparently deflecting upward into his neck. The impact on the vest is clear.

My post was specifically about the picture of the casing that the WSJ posted. I stand by my conclusion that their reporting (and their fact checking that we should expect and demand from "reputable" sources) was a farce. The image they showed never supported their claims and it unfortunately "got legs" and spread.
I have no control over - and no opinion about - what the Governor said in his press conference. From the searching I did, he didn't show any images of the shell casing, but the WSJ did - and they got it wrong.

I saw this too ... And shook my head at all of it
OP
and I wasn't commenting on anything other than what has been confirmed by people who are doing the investigation. And yes, I heard the update in real time and before I posted.
I don't read the WSJ in print or online, my info was from the investigative sources.
I stand with the people on the ground IN UTAH doing the actual work.

Should be no real surprise though. The drive-by media has a track record of filling in the blanks with nonsense when they have no factual data to report but still have airtime to fill.

I've read and heard lots of speculation by "experts". No one will know for sure until a lot more information is available. News outlets run unvetted stuff to beat their rivals. It wasn't a particularly easy shot, downhill (shots are high) a breeze, mirage in the heat, one of those situations where a move one way or another would have meant a miss.
No relation per Washington County Utah Sheriff's Office:

The joke is that a little time with a ballistic calculator and doing some math reveals a 3° angle shot (assuming 30' elevation at 200 yards) that would be 3.5" low for a rifle zeroed at 100 yards. There's not enough downhill to make a big difference.
Wind? Plug in whatever numbers you like. 5 mph full value wind pushes the average 30-06 hunting bullet 1.5". Was it windy there?
For sure, in calm conditions at 200 yards is a chip shot for 30-06 if the rifle has a half decent trigger..
"...200 yards is an incredibly difficult shot..."
Huh? From prone? With a scope? When I was his age, I hit targets all day long at 250 meters with my M-14 and iron sights.
