The suspected k%ller of political activist Charlie Kirk has been apprehended and is now in custody.

At 6:21 p.m. EST on Wednesday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the suspected sh00ter of Charlie Kirk is now in custody. The name and age of the suspect have not been released.

In a press conference, Utah Governor Spencer Cox stated it was “a political assassination”, per Brian Entin of NewsNation.

Cox also reminded the public that the state still carries the d3ath p3nalty.

The 31-year-old Charlie Kirk was hosting a public event at Utah Valley University when he was sh0t in the neck. Multiple videos surfaced of the horrible sh00ting taking place while Kirk was speaking.

A prominent conservative activist, Kirk was a close ally of Donald Trump and racked up over a billion viewers on his YouTube channel. Kirk rose to prominence in the political scene as an 18-year-old in 2012, when he co-founded Turning Point USA.

We’ll provide more details on the suspected k%ller when they become available. We’re offering our prayers to the family and loved ones of Charlie Kirk during this horrific time.

Caitlin Clark’s Sophomore Season Went Terribly

Injuries defined Caitlin Clark’s second year in the WNBA.

Despite injury-shortened play, she was named a WNBA All-Star for the second consecutive year. Even still, fans who had hoped to see her play would only see her seated on the bench for multiple games.

In her second year, Clark has dealt with a left quad strain, a left groin injury, and, eventually, a right groin injury in July 2025 that would end her year for good. As a result, she was also forced to miss the All-Star Game.

These setbacks limited her to just 13 games, a significant decrease from her rookie year.

Before this year, she did not miss a game while playing in college. We can only hope that her third year plays out a lot better.
