Before the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk, the FBI is reportedly looking into suspicious social media posts that may have hinted at the incident beforehand.
Charlie Kirk, a conservative figure and ally of Donald Trump, was fatally shot with a single bullet during a rally at Utah Valley University. The FBI is set to press murder charges against Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old who turned himself in after a 33-hour search.
Following the assassination, several social media posts have emerged suggesting prior knowledge of the shooting. These posts, mainly on Twitter, seemed to anticipate the date of Kirk’s murder, September 10, more than a month in advance, according to reports.
Accounts associated with transgender individuals, including one linked to Robinson’s roommate, showed signs of premonition regarding the event. Specific tweets mentioned the upcoming date of the incident and hinted at something significant occurring on that day.
FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed that a written message from Robinson indicated his intent to harm Kirk. Investigations revealed DNA evidence linking Robinson to the murder weapon and other items at the crime scene, along with text messages detailing his violent plans.
Robinson, who harbored animosity towards Kirk and held leftist beliefs, surrendered to authorities after his father persuaded him to do so, nearly a day after the shooting. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino mentioned the possibility of a broader conspiracy surrounding Kirk’s death, emphasizing ongoing efforts to uncover any potential accomplices or supporters.
