"Tyler Robinson, apprehended last night in connection to the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, allegedly left engraved bullets at the crime scene that were covered in a furry meme, references from the video game Helldivers 2, and an extremely online taunt. In an FBI briefing this morning about his arrest, Utah Governor Spencer Cox described the sequence of events that led to the capture of Robinson, 22, who was turned into the police by his father."
"As described, the bullets read (exact capitalization not confirmed at this point): "Notices bulges OWO what's this?" "Hey fascist! Catch!" Up arrow symbol, right arrow, three down arrow symbols "Oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao" "If you read this, you are gay lmao" The first bullet casing, which was fired, is a meme referring to furry online roleplay, according to Know Your Meme."
