Zinn was arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice, according to KTVX-TV.

In an affidavit, Utah Valley University Police Detective Michael Dutson said Zinn approached him after Kirk was shot, according to KSL-TV.

“[Zinn] immediately started yelling at me, ‘I shot him, now shoot me,’” Dutson wrote in the document.

“I could see both of his hands and could not see a weapon,” he said.

When asked where the gun was, he replied, “I am not going to tell you,” according to KTVX.

The man arrested for the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, reportedly confessed to the murder Thursday via the group chat platform Discord.

Screenshots of the message were reportedly obtained by The Washington Post from two people “familiar with the chat,” but have yet to be independently verified.

“Hey guys, I have bad news for you all,” Robinson reportedly messaged a group of friends.

“It was me at UVU yesterday. i’m sorry for all of this.”

The message was reportedly sent on Thursday night, two hours before Robinson’s arrest.

During his appearance hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show” Monday, Vice President JD Vance called out the growing amount of violence and violent attitudes on the left, noting that the issue is not a “both sides problem.”

Citing recent YouGov polling statistics, Vance noted that liberals are far more likely to defend feelings of joy over the death of political opponents.

The statistics came from a series of three polls conducted on Sept. 10, 11, and 12. The polls surveyed 2,646, 4,028, and 3,004 U.S. adults respectively with samples weighted for gender, age, race, education, region, and political party with 2.5 percent, 3 percent, and 2.5 percent margins of error.

The results showed a truly shocking disparity between U.S. liberals and conservatives.

When asked “Do you generally consider it to be acceptable or unacceptable for a person to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose?” 24 percent of “very liberal” respondents said “acceptable.”

Only 3 percent of “very conservative” respondents agreed.
