Law enforcement sources told Daily Mail that Robinson was taken into custody as the alleged assassin who killed Kirk at a rally at Utah Valley University in Utah on Wednesday.

Sources told CNN that the killer then confessed to his father, who worked at the Washington County Sheriff's Department, reports say. His father then contacted authorities and secured his son before he could be taken into custody.

The New York Times reported that the suspect was taken into custody around 11pm local time in southern Utah on Thursday night. The alleged shooter lived in a $600,000 six-bedroom home in Washington, Utah - around 260 miles south of where the carnage unfolded in Orem.

Little is known of Robinson at this time, and officials have not yet released a motive to the shooting.
