Tyler Robinson, the suspect arrested for the assassination of Charlie Kirk, reportedly threatened to kill himself rather than surrender to his father, according to sources cited by the New York Post within the reporting window. Robinson's Dodge Challenger, described as the vehicle used on the day of the shooting at Utah Valley University, was observed parked outside his Washington City home. Officials have not yet provided information regarding Kirk's motive, but the Utah governor appealed to young people to foster civil discourse and empathy in political debate. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick issued a four-page statement criticizing Governor Greg Abbott's executive order on THC, framing it as a policy disagreement rather than a personal conflict. Separately, Brandon Herrera, also known as "The AK Guy," is again seeking to represent Texas's 35th Congressional District, challenging incumbent Tony Gonzales. In international news, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked General Kellogg, stating that the U.S. possesses air defense capabilities comparable to the Patriot system, which he believes would allow Kyiv residents to "get some sleep." This statement was made during Kellogg's visit to Ukraine. The previous report mentioned the arrest of Tyler Robinson on September 12th for the assassination that occurred on September 10th, with evidence suggesting Robinson shared messages on Discord related to the murder, a pattern observed in a previous attempt on President Trump. A Secret Service agent was also placed on administrative leave for violating conduct codes in a post related to the Kirk assassination investigation, as confirmed by the Secret Service to NewsNation on September 12th.
