Video Shows Suspect in Sniper Position as Charlie Kirk Shot, Utah Prosecutors Say

PROVO, Utah, July 7 (Reuters)—Utah prosecutors showed a video on Tuesday that an investigator said showed the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk last year in a sniper’s position on the roof of a university campus building from which the prominent conservative activist was shot.

The evidence was presented during the second day of a preliminary hearing in Provo, Utah, in which prosecutors are trying to convince District Court Judge Tony Graf to bring Tyler Robinson, 23, to trial. Investigators allege he shot Kirk from a rooftop at Utah Valley University while the right-wing activist and ally of President Donald Trump debated with students.

Robinson faces seven criminal charges, including aggravated murder. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.  

Utah investigator David Hull, testifying as the video was shown, said the images were recorded as the shot was fired, “and the individual then stands up and then moves across the building to the north.” Hull identified the person as Robinson.
