A Utah man seen being led away in handcuffs after Charlie Kirk’s assassination has been charged after police say he distracted authorities in the minutes after the shooting by falsely claiming he was the perpetrator.
George Zinn, 71, sparked confusion in the moments after gunshots rang out on Utah Valley University’s campus last week when police said he approached an officer and yelled, "I shot him, now shoot me," according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Fox News.
