1. A "watershed moment in American history." That's what Utah Governor Spencer Cox is calling the deadly shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk. During today's press conference when investigators announced a suspect is now in custody, Cox compared Wednesday's assassination to the political and cultural upheaval of the late 1960s. He urged all Americans to tone things down. Cox said this is a turning point. 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah is now in custody for Kirk's killing. He was caught in Washington County, Utah, nearly three hours from Utah Valley University, where the shooting took place. Investigators say a video of the suspect helped in his apprehension. So did a family member who convinced Robinson to turn himself in. We expect Robinson to be formally charged in the killing in the next few days.
