Authorities Arrest 22-Year-Old Suspect in Kirk Shooting (WSJ. 20250912)

Authorities say they have taken a 22-year-old suspect named Tyler Robinson into custody for the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday. Law enforcement believe he acted alone. The suspect had previously discussed his dislike for Kirk. Authorities recovered a high-powered rifle in a wooded area where the suspected shooter fled and found bullet casings with inscriptions. President Trump said he wants the perpetrator to get the death penalty if found guilty for the killing. In an interview with Fox News today, Trump said he plans to send National Guard troops to Memphis, Tennessee as part of a crackdown on crime across the country. That follows his administration's intervention in Washington D.C. Memphis Police recently reported that overall crime had fallen to a 25-year low with a number of murders dropping to a six-year low, but rates remain among the highest in the country. The office of Memphis Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. And American's confidence in the economy is waning while long-term inflation expectations have risen. According to a preliminary estimate, the University of Michigan survey's confidence index declined unexpectedly to 55.4 from 58.2 in August. Consumers are frustrated by both sticky inflation and a slowing labor market.
