Suspected gunman Robinson wrote note threatening Kirk, tied to scene by DNA, FBI director says

The suspect accused of assassinating right-wing activist Charlie Kirk in Utah wrote a text message before the shooting that he planned to kill Kirk, FBI Director Kash Patel said on Monday.

In an appearance on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," Patel said investigators believe Tyler Robinson also wrote a physical note saying he had the "opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk" and would do so. The note was destroyed, Patel said, but investigators have collected forensic evidence that it had existed and confirmed its contents through interviews.
