An elderly man arrested immediately after Charlie Kirk’s assassination falsely claimed he shot the conservative activist to hinder the police response to find the actual shooter, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
George Zinn, 71, attended Kirk’s event at Utah Valley University and was seen claiming that he shot Kirk shortly after the shooting, according to the sheriff’s office.
Zinn was taken to the university’s police department and later transported to a local hospital after he experienced a medical episode, the nature of which was not specified by the sheriff’s office.
