A rifle and ammunition were later recovered in nearby woodland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday evening, Tyler Robinson was reportedly taken into custody near St. George, Utah, after being identified by a family member who brought him to law enforcement. Details of the arrest indicate that Robinson\u2019s father and a U.S. marshal were involved in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump spoke about the arrest during an appearance on Fox News, emphasizing the need for justice. \u201cI hope he\u2019s going to be found guilty, and I hope he gets the death penalty,\u201d Trump said. \u201cCharlie Kirk was an exceptional person and didn\u2019t deserve this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue reading on next page\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suspect\u2019s identification marks a significant step in the investigation and has brought a measure of relief to the public while reigniting discussions about security at public political events and the consequences of violence in civic life.
