DNA of alleged shooter found at scene of Kirk murder

 National Review:

Law enforcement has turned up striking new evidence in their investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including a confirmed DNA match linking the alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, to the crime scene, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed Monday.

Robinson’s DNA was present on a screwdriver found on a rooftop at the Utah Valley University campus as well as on a towel that was wrapped around the rifle that investigators found in the woods near the assassination site, Patel said during an interview on Fox & Friends.

“I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA from the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody,” Patel said.

The bolt-action hunting rifle used in the attack is still in Maryland with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives being analyzed, Patel said.
...

Lawyers assigned to the alleged shooter will have an uphill climb defending him.  I suspect they already had significant evidence against the shooter to present at trial.  The motive for killing Charlie Kirk is still a mystery to me.  It makes no sense.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
