Still, questions persist about the alleged shooter's motive and planning, as well as security lapses that allowed a man with a rifle to shoot Kirk from a rooftop before fleeing. The university has said there will be increased security when classes resume on Sept. 17. In Robinson's hometown, about 240 miles (390 kilometers) southwest of campus, a law enforcement presence was significantly diminished Saturday after the FBI executed a search warrant at his family's home."
