After a suspect was arrested within the homicide of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, an emotional Utah Gov. Spencer Cox mentioned he’s "as angry as I have ever been" and that this taking pictures marks a "moment" within the nation’s historical past.

"This is our moment. Do we escalate or do we find an off-ramp?" Cox advised reporters throughout a press convention on Friday.

Cox confirmed that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was allegedly the one who shot and killed Kirk on Wednesday whereas the conservative activist was talking at a campus occasion at Utah Valley University in Oren, about 39 miles south of Salt Lake City.
