"Robinson's arrest late Thursday calmed some fears. 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."
"A gray Dodge Challenger that authorities say Robinson drove to UVU appeared to have been hauled away. No one answered the door Saturday at his family's home in Washington, Utah, and the blinds were closed. The killing has prompted pleas for civility in American political discourse, but those calls were not always heeded, and some people who have criticized Kirk in the wake of his death have been fired or suspended from their jobs."
