United States authorities have arrested a suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Law enforcement officials identified the suspect as 21-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah, according to NBC News, citing five senior law enforcement sources.
Kirk was fatally shot in the neck on Tuesday while speaking at a debate at Utah Valley University.
