"As of September 12th, authorities have captured the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, after a family member of the suspect got in contact with law enforcement. Utah Governor Spencer Cox affirmed the suspect's identity and suggested that the suspect had become "more political" as of late. According to CBS news, the suspect's latest voter registration date was on July 13, 2021, and there was no declared political party listed."
