For those who asked it's confirmed Robinson was a Mormon [View all]
This was asked yesterday and this is the first confirmation I've seen so I'm sharing here.
The suspect was a member of the Mormon church at a young age.
The man suspected of killing Charlie Kirk became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints “at a young age,” according to a spokesman for the church. It is unclear if the suspect, Tyler Robinson, has been an active member of the church in recent years.
“I can confirm that Robinson became a member of the Church at a young age but refer any further inquiry about his Church activity to him or his family,” said the spokesman, Doug Andersen.
Leaders of Latter-day Saint congregations in the St. George, Utah, area referred questions about Mr. Robinson to church spokesmen.
“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints condemns horrific acts of violence worldwide, including the recent assassination in Utah,” church leaders said in a statement on Friday.
