FBI Reveals Bullets Used by Tyler Robinson in Charlie Kirk Assassination Carried Bizarre Inscriptions

Bullet casings recovered from the weapon used in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk have been found to carry a series of bizarre inscriptions, investigators confirmed. The FBI said suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, engraved multiple messages onto the casings before allegedly firing at Kirk during his address at Utah Valley University. Among the phrases etched were: 'Notices, bulges, OWO, what's this?', 'Hey fascists! Catch!', and a reference to the Italian resistance anthem 'Bella Ciao'. Another casing read, 'If you read this, you are gay LMAO.'

Robinson was arrested shortly after the shooting, with authorities recovering a high-powered bolt-action rifle from a wooded area nearby. According to Utah Governor Spencer Cox, early evidence suggests the suspect acted alone. Family members told investigators Robinson had recently become more political and had spoken about his dislike for Kirk, accusing him of 'spreading hate'. The FBI has not confirmed a definitive motive, but the incident is being treated as politically charged. In a video message, US President Donald Trump blamed 'radical lefts' for fostering the climate that led to the killing of his long-time ally.

The inscriptions on the ammunition have added a disturbing layer to a case that has already shocked the United States. While investigators continue to probe Robinson's background and motivations, the discovery underscores the symbolic nature of the attack. With Kirk's death sparking fierce debate over political violence, authorities say the case highlights the rising dangers of polarisation and extremist rhetoric in America's public sphere.
