Kirk suspect vowed to 'take out' activist

THE man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk left behind a chilling note vowing to “take out” the far-right activist, the FBI has said.

Director Kash Patel claimed investigators had pieced together a written message by suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, in which he suggested he would kill the MAGA activist.

"He had an opportunity to take out Mr Kirk and was going to make use of it," Patel said.

The FBI chief claimed DNA linking Robinson to the killing was discovered on a towel wrapped around the ditched bolt-action rifle used in the killing and on a screwdriver left on the rooftop from where the fatal shot was fired.

Authorities also claim they have uncovered text messages in which Robinson indicated his intention to murder Kirk but they have not disclosed who they were sent to.
