Tyler Robinson Made Contact With Police Six Hours After Charlie Kirk Shooting Near Weapon Location
New details reveal that Tyler Robinson, accused of shooting Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10th, made contact with a police officer approximately six hours after the incident near the wooded area where he allegedly dumped the rifle. Bo Mason, Commissioner of the Utah Department of Public Safety, confirmed that Robinson returned to campus to retrieve the weapon, encountering law enforcement around 6:30 p.m. Investigators tracked Robinson's movements to local businesses, including a restaurant purchase, describing his behavior as conducting normal interactions. The timeline raises questions about his whereabouts, his calm demeanor despite the circumstances, and conflicting reports about a Dairy Queen photograph allegedly showing Robinson at 6:38 p.m. that same evening.
Tyler Robinson's Contact With Police After the Shooting
New information has emerged regarding Tyler Robinson and his movements following the shooting of Charlie Kirk. According to multiple law enforcement sources, Tyler Robinson made contact with a police officer approximately six hours after the shooting, near the exact location where he allegedly dropped his rifle.
Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of shooting Charlie Kirk with a single bullet that struck the father of two as he spoke to a crowd at Utah Valley University on September 10th. After the shooting, Robinson allegedly made a quick escape and dumped the Mauser rifle he is said to have used, only to return later to recover the weapon.
Two law enforcement sources told Fox News that Robinson appeared at a wooded area where the gun was found and made contact with officers guarding the area. That brief encounter appears to have stopped the main suspect from collecting the firearm used in the shooting.
Official Confirmation From Utah Department of Public Safety
Bo Mason, Commissioner of the Utah Department of Public Safety, confirmed to Fox News that Robinson circled back to the campus to retrieve the rifle. "We've been able to confirm very recently that he did return to that campus and did make contact with an officer," Mason said. "The contents of that interaction we're not prepared to reveal right now. That's part of the investigation and part of gathering more information."
Mason stated that the interaction happened on September 10th, much later in the evening. He added that investigators have been able to track Robinson's movements to local businesses and other places in and around the area. "We know he visited a restaurant where he made a purchase for food. Just kind of a normal interaction," Mason said.
A separate Fox News article states that Tyler Robinson made contact with a police officer near where investigators recovered the alleged murder weapon around 6:30 p.m., roughly six hours after the shooting occurred at Utah Valley University.
Robinson's Calm Demeanor and Focus on the Rifle
The encounter with Tyler Robinson around 6:30 p.m. reportedly showed no real anxiety, stress, or concern. Robinson hadn't immediately fled the scene by jumping off the roof, running across the road, dropping the rifle in the woods, jumping in his car, and making the four-hour trip home. Instead, he appeared to be waiting to retrieve the rifle, seemingly fixated on recovering the weapon.
Looking back at text messages that have been discussed, there's no real emotion, no sadness, no heightened anxiety. The focus is all about the rifle. Questions about what his dad would say if he didn't have the rifle, what his grandpa would say if he didn't bring the rifle back—not questions like "what have I just done?" or "where am I going to go?" or "what am I going to do?" The fixation appears to be entirely on the goal at hand, as if in his mind, the mission wasn't finished until he retrieved the weapon.
Questions About Robinson's State of Mind
Some observers suggest the reason Robinson appeared calm and collected is because he knew the rifle wasn't involved in the shooting. This theory has emerged amid extensive discussion about the ballistics, debates over whether wounds were entry or exit wounds, and questions about what weapon was actually used in the assassination. According to this perspective, Robinson wasn't worried because he knew the rifle wasn't connected to the crime.
Others suggest Robinson is simply a psychopath with no emotion, walking around fixated on the goal at hand—retrieving the weapon. According to this view, he wasn't worried about what he had done or the consequences, except for the one consequence that directly affected him in terms of his father and grandfather.
What stands out is that Robinson hadn't fled. He hadn't run away. He was reportedly walking around, not just driving or cruising around the street. He apparently got out of his vehicle and approached the wooded area. Whether he saw the police there or they appeared from a bush and caught him by surprise remains unknown, as body camera footage hasn't been released.
The Dairy Queen Photograph Controversy
A photograph released by Candace Owens on YouTube claims to show CCTV footage of Tyler Robinson taken at 6:38 p.m. in a Dairy Queen on the day of the shooting. This Dairy Queen is approximately a 17-minute drive from the shooting area.
The question arises: how does this photograph fit with the new information about the law enforcement encounter? Does this suggest the photograph is fake or was taken at a different time? Many people have already questioned this photograph, pointing out that there are no shadows where there should be, that it doesn't really look like Tyler Robinson, that the poster in the background isn't quite right or is out of date, and that there's no timestamp on the photograph. The new information about the 6:30 p.m. encounter with law enforcement casts further doubt on the Dairy Queen photograph.
Possible Timeline Explanations
The report regarding the encounter by the wooded area mentions it took place around 6:30 p.m., but could it have been 6:20 p.m. or 6:15 p.m.? Without body camera footage or anything definitive, the exact time remains unclear.
One possibility is that Tyler Robinson went to the wooded area, tried to retrieve the rifle, encountered a police officer, and thought to himself that it wasn't going to work. He may have returned to his car, grabbed something to eat, and planned to return under the cover of darkness or later that evening.
Alternatively, the photograph simply isn't real or was taken at a different time. However, there's reason to believe both events could be true with the timeline being slightly off. Bo Mason's interview mentions that Tyler Robinson was captured on CCTV visiting eateries and restaurants in the hours after the shooting, conducting everyday activities as described. The photograph might have been taken a little later, or the encounter with the officer might have happened a little sooner. Without a definitive time period for the image or the encounter, it's difficult to know for certain.
Robinson's Presence of Mind and Planning Failures
What stands out is Robinson's presence of mind—the fact that there's no rushing about, no anxiety, no stress or fear about what would happen next. It's all about seeing it through to the end. If he could just pick up the rifle and make his escape, everything would be sorted.
However, there are also significant holes in Tyler Robinson's planning. He allegedly left a screwdriver on the roof. He dumped the gun far too close to the crime scene, in an area that was cordoned off, meaning he couldn't actually retrieve it.
Questions About Robinson's Whereabouts
Where was Robinson on the 10th and 11th if he didn't immediately get back in the car and return to his roommate? If he didn't go back to his parents, yet there were discussions with Lance Twiggs about his mom and dad calling him, wanting photographs of the rifle, that must have been on the 11th. But he wasn't with Lance. He wasn't with the roommate. He wasn't with his parents because they were messaging him. He wasn't with Lance Twiggs because he was messaging Lance talking about handing himself in.
Where was he at that stage? Did he stay at the crime scene all night? Was he so fixated on retrieving the weapon that he stayed there overnight in his car, driving around thinking about how best to fulfill what he planned to do? It's very strange.
More details will likely emerge when the FBI releases additional information and if this case goes to trial. Further details about the actual timings regarding phone calls, text messages, and other evidence will become public knowledge.
