> A Utah judge has ruled that 23-year-old Tyler James Robinson will stand trial for murder over the alleged fatal shooting of far-right activist Charlie Kirk at a college rally in September 2025. Robinson is accused of shooting Kirk in the neck, reportedly because he was fed up with the “hate” Kirk spread.
