- He is slated to appear virtually before a state judge on Tuesday, where formal charges will be read.
Investigation Scope

- Utah Governor Spencer Cox and law enforcement have ruled out wider conspiracies but continue interviews with family members and acquaintances.
Public and Official Reactions
- Tributes to Kirk have drawn national attention, with vigils held and flags lowered at federal buildings.
- Political figures across the spectrum have condemned the violence, urging unity and denouncing extremist rhetoric.
