Utah DPS person is saying it was definitively a political

assassination. Says they have a person of interest in custody, but not the shooter. So how can he say it is definitely a political assassination?

This man seems really emotionally tied in, but not necessarily professionally. He has said a few interesting things, but doesn't impress me as being objective in his law enforcement.

He left me confused.

the motivation is not yet apparent. The shooter may have had another issue with Kirk. It might not be political. Maybe the shooter wants to be the vanguard of a new violent social movement in the US.
