Kirk’s alleged assassin said he targeted the conservative activist because he “spreads too much hate” and “I had enough of his hatred,” new court documents show.

But the suggestion that a secret network of violent left-wing extremists was behind the killing stands in contrast to the evidence that law enforcement officials presented on Tuesday in Utah, where Kirk was fatally shot. There was no indication presented Tuesday that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, was a member of a group or that he fell under the sway of a particular leader. The investigation is ongoing.
Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray laid out seven counts — including aggravated murder — against Robinson, and detailed the evidence against him in a 10-page court filing. In the hours after the shooting, Robinson was asked twice, by his father and his roommate, why he shot Kirk. He responded that Kirk “spreads too much hate” and “I had enough of his hatred,” the documents show.
但有关一个秘密的暴力左翼极端分子网络在这起枪击案背后的说法，与执法官员周二在犹他州公布的证据相矛盾。柯克在犹他州遭枪击身亡。周二公布的材料中并没有迹象表明嫌疑人泰勒·罗宾逊隶属于某个组织，或受到某位特定领导人的影响。调查仍在进行中。
犹他县检察官杰弗里·格雷提出对罗宾逊的七项指控，其中包括加重谋杀，并在一份 10 页的法庭文件中详细列出了针对他的证据。文件显示，在枪击案发生后的数小时内，罗宾逊先后被父亲和室友问到两次，为什么要向柯克开枪。他回答称，柯克“传播了太多仇恨”，而且“我已经受够了他的仇恨”。
