Prosecutors say DNA evidence from the rifle used to assassinate conservative leader Charlie Kirk directly linked accused gunman Tyler Robinson to the killing.

Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said investigators recovered genetic material from the rifle used in the shooting and compared it to the DNA of Robinson, 22, who was charged in the Sept. 10 killing at Utah Valley University.
