Accused Shooter of Charlie Kirk: Background Details Emerge from Washington County Investigation

[00:00] More details have been discovered

[00:01] regarding the accused shooter of

[00:03] political activist Charlie Kirk and his

[00:05] background in Washington County.

[00:07] Robinson lived with a roommate here in

[00:09] the cottages of the Fossil Hills housing

[00:11] complex on River Road. This is different

[00:14] from where Robinson was arrested, which

[00:16] was his parents' home located on

[00:18] Simmeran Drive. Steve Dunham, the

[00:21] communications and foundation director

[00:23] for the Washington County School

[00:25] District, says Robinson attended

[00:27] Riverside Elementary in 2008 and would

[00:30] go on to graduate from Pine View High

[00:32] School in May of 2021. A Utah

[00:35] spokesperson from Utah State University

[00:38] confirmed that Robinson was enrolled for

[00:40] a single semester at the school in 2021.

[00:43] Finally, Dixie Technical College in St.

[00:45] George says Robinson is currently a

[00:48] third-year student in the electrical

[00:50] apprenticeship program. One of

[00:52] Robinson's neighbors, Shelby Holt, says

[00:54] she was shocked that someone like

[00:56] Robinson was living a few doors down the

[00:58] way. That's really scary. Like you just

[01:00] never know nowadays like, you know, who

[01:02] people really are

[01:04] >> cuz he looks like a normal kid like goes

[01:06] to college and like, you know, just like

[01:07] every other kid out here that goes to

[01:08] college. It's like it's kind of

[01:10] mindboggling to know that like something

[01:12] like that is just five houses down. A

[01:15] neighbor near the home of Robinson's

[01:16] parents, Melissa Tate, says she's

[01:19] grateful to the parents for making the

[01:21] difficult decision to turn their son to

[01:23] the authorities. I am so thankful for

[01:25] them that that had to be unbelievable

[01:28] decision and I should hope that every

[01:30] all of us parents would do the same. I

[01:32] don't I've not been in the situation so

[01:34] I can't say I have children and um I I

[01:39] do am very grateful that they did that

[01:42] and I utmost

[01:45] sympathy for his family. I can't even

[01:48] imagine

[01:50] what they're going through right now.
