<p>Police responded to an active shooter situation at Villanova University on Thursday afternoon, as new students were moving into their dorms at the private Catholic research university west of Philadelphia. Villanova President Rev. Peter M. Donohue said that the reported shooting was a &#8220;cruel hoax,&#8221; adding that no one was injured, NBC 10 Philadelphia <a href="https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/villanova-students-warned-of-active-shooter-on-campus/4257685/">reported</a>.</p>
<p>At around 4:30 p.m. ET, while many students and parents were attending mass, an alert went out from Villanova instructing everyone to shelter in place and stay away from the Law School&#8217;s Scarpa Hall. A video posted on X showed a representative for Villanova telling a group of people who had taken shelter that the active shooter situation was &#8220;supposedly in the library at the law school.&#8221;</p>
<p>The campus was placed on lockdown over the incident just hours after Villanova Law <a href="https://x.com/Villanova_Law/status/1958620709808206026?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1958620709808206026%7Ctwgr%5Ec8b9ece089c78ab88cf83b134bb6b0ff50ce0254%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcphiladelphia.com%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fvillanova-students-warned-of-active-shooter-on-campus%2F4257685%2F">posted</a> that it hosted a &#8220;successful&#8221; orientation for students that was followed by a picnic. The school year is set to begin next week.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, as we are celebrating Orientation Mass to welcome our newest Villanovans and their families to our community, panic and terror ensued with the news of a possible shooter at the Law School,&#8221; Donohue said. &#8220;Mercifully, no one was injured, and we now know that it was a cruel hoax—there was no active shooter, no injuries and no evidence of firearms present on campus. While that is a blessing and relief, I know today’s events have shaken our entire community.&#8221;</p>

Active Shooter Scare On Villanova Campus Was ‘Cruel Hoax’

<p>An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer was injured in Chicago on Friday after an illegal immigrant struck him with a vehicle. The suspect was killed in the incident.</p>
<p>A team of ICE agents was conducting “targeted law enforcement activity” at Franklin Park when a suspect was asked to stop his vehicle, but continued to drive, hitting an agent and “subsequently dragging him as he fled the scene,” an ICE spokesman <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/person-shot-after-ice-agent-apparently-dragged-by-vehicle-in-franklin-park-sources-say/3823259/">told</a> NBC 5 Chicago.</p>
<p>The agent, “fearing for his life,” shot the driver. The agent and suspect were taken to a hospital, where the Department of Homeland Security later identified the victim as Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, who was pronounced dead. The DHS said that Villegas-Gonzalez was an illegal immigrant.</p>
<p>The ICE agent suffered severe injuries but remained in stable condition. Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the agent was dragged “a significant distance” after being struck by the illegal immigrant’s vehicle.</p>
<p>“We are praying for the speedy recovery of our law enforcement officer. He followed his training, used appropriate force, and properly enforced the law to protect the public and law enforcement,” said McLaughlin, according to NBC 5.</p>
<p>DHS also called out activists who tell suspected illegal immigrants to resist federal law enforcement.</p>
<p>“Viral social media videos and activists encouraging illegal aliens to resist law enforcement not only spread misinformation, but also undermine public safety, the safety of our officers and those being apprehended,” DHS said.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-storm-hits-chicago-trump-launches-operation-midway-blitz">launched</a> “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago earlier this week, vowing to “target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets.” This week, people have gathered in Chicago to protest Trump’s immigration enforcement in the city, and federal agents had to forcibly remove some protesters on Friday who had staged a sit-in at an ICE processing center, ABC 7 Chicago <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/post/ice-operation-midway-blitz-protesters-gather-outside-broadview-facility-amid-trumps-chicago-immigration-crackdown/17799687/">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Trump also threatened to deploy the National Guard to back up federal authorities during immigration operations and to crack down on violent crime. Last weekend, Trump posted an AI-generated <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115158096026629509">meme</a> on social media, showing Chicago in flames while military helicopters flew overhead. The meme was captioned, “I love the smell of deportations in the morning&#8230; Chicago about to find out why it&#8217;s called the Department of WAR.”</p>
<p>Asked about the meme and whether he was advocating for going to war in Chicago, Trump shot back, “We&#8217;re not going to war. We&#8217;re going to clean up our cities. We&#8217;re going to clean them up so they don&#8217;t kill five people every weekend. That&#8217;s not war, that&#8217;s common sense.”</p>
<p>Democrats in Chicago and around the country have decried Trump’s effort to ramp up immigration enforcement in the Windy City and his threat to send in the National Guard, with Pritzker calling Trump a “wannabe dictator.”</p>

Illegal Immigrant Shot And Killed After Wounding ICE Agent In Chicago

<p>Federal and state officials in Utah revealed on Friday morning that they closed in on Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man suspected of assassinating Charlie Kirk, after a family friend reached out to law enforcement.</p>
<p>FBI Director Kash Patel said that authorities “made historic progress for Charlie” after capturing the suspected assassin in just 33 hours. Patel then provided a timeline of the FBI’s response immediately after Kirk was gunned down and how the search for the alleged assassin came to a close.</p>
<h2>Wednesday, September 10</h2>
<h3>11:52 a.m. MT — Suspect Arrives Near Campus</h3>
<p>Authorities said video showed the suspected assassin driving near campus in a gray Dodge Challenger. One of Robinson’s family members reportedly told investigators that Robinson drove a gray Dodge Challenger. The suspect then walked onto campus and climbed up the stairwells to a roof adjacent to the courtyard where Kirk was speaking, according to authorities.</p>
<h3>12:23 p.m. — Charlie Kirk Shot</h3>
<p>Authorities believe that a single shot was fired from the roof of a building around 200 yards from where Kirk was debating students during one of his signature question and answer sessions.</p>
<h3>12:39 p.m. — The First FBI Agents Arrive, Secure Scene</h3>
<p>Shortly after the FBI took over the investigation, the agency immediately began utilizing assets to transport “personnel, specialty technicians, [and] hostage rescue teams,” Patel said, adding that forensic evidence was taken to FBI laboratories at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia and other laboratories.</p>
<h3>2:40 p.m. — President Trump Announces That Kirk Has Died</h3>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<h3>5:20 p.m. — Person Of Interest Questioned</h3>
<p>Patel said a person of interest was questioned at 5:20 p.m. on Wednesday. He posted at 5:21 p.m. that the “subject for the horrific shooting” was in custody, but less than two hours later, the FBI director posted an update, saying, “The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement.” Two subjects were questioned by authorities on Wednesday in connection with the assassination before they were both released.</p>
<h2>Thursday, September 11</h2>
<h3>10:00 a.m. — FBI Releases First Photos Of Suspected Assassin</h3>
<h3>10:45 a.m. — FBI Offers $100,000 Reward For Info Leading To Arrest Of Suspect</h3>
<h3>5:30 p.m. — Patel And Deputy Director Dan Bongino Arrive In Utah</h3>
<p>Patel said that he was able to evaluate &#8220;the large crime scene” at Utah Valley University with investigators, where he walked &#8220;through the steps that the suspect took to learn more about what was needed … to create a full picture for the FBI and leadership back in Washington. The FBI director added that investigators are continuing to look at forensic evidence “as we collect it.”</p>
<p>The public also flooded the FBI with around 7,000 leads on Thursday.</p>
<h3>8:00 p.m. — FBI Releases More Images, Video Of Suspected Assassin Fleeing Scene</h3>
<p>The video showed the suspect jumping off the roof from where the single shot that killed Kirk was fired. Images released by the FBI showed a man in an American flag shirt, a hat, and sunglasses walking up a stairwell.</p>
<h3>10:00 p.m. — Tyler Robinson Arrested In Southern Utah</h3>
<p>Officials said that Robinson was turned in after a family member reached out to a friend about the 22-year-old, who allegedly confessed or implied that he had assassinated Kirk. The New York Post and The Daily Mail reported that the suspect admitted to the assassination to his father. Robinson reportedly told his father that he wanted to kill himself when his father urged him to turn himself over to the authorities.</p>
<p>Robinson’s father convinced his son to talk to their youth minister, who is also a U.S. Marshal, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/12/us-news/tyler-robinson-full-of-hate-before-charlie-kirk-shooting-says-family-friends/">reported</a>. The youth minister then called the FBI, and shortly after, agents took Robinson into custody.</p>

TIMELINE: How Authorities Circled In On Suspected Assassin Tyler Robinson

<p>Utah officials and the FBI confirmed during a press conference on Friday morning that the man suspected of assassinating conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was taken into custody on Thursday night.</p>
<p>Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox said at a press conference that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was arrested after allegedly confessing or implying to a family member that he had assassinated Kirk. Robinson also recently told a family member of his dislike of Kirk, the governor said. Cox added that a family member of Robinson’s told investigators that the suspected assassin had become more political in recent years, and that Robinson mentioned at a recent dinner that Kirk was scheduled to speak at Utah Valley University.</p>
<p>“They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” the governor added. “The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate.”</p>
<p>Robinson was taken into custody at around 10:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. One of Robinson’s family members reached out to a family friend about the 22-year-old who allegedly confessed or implied that he had assassinated Kirk. The information “was then relayed” to authorities, according to Cox. Robinson lived with his family in Washington County in southwest Utah and was not a student at Utah Valley University.</p>
<p>Authorities said campus video showed the suspected assassin arriving at Utah Valley University in a gray Dodge Challenger before Kirk’s killing, and a family member later confirmed to investigators that Robinson owned the same type of car.</p>
<p>A roommate of Robinson also spoke with investigators and allowed them to review messages from the suspect that were sent via the online platform Discord. Messages sent from “Tyler” allegedly discussed retrieving a rifle from a “drop point” and “leaving the rifle in a bush,” Cox said. Authorities said they found a bolt-action rifle with a scope attached in a bush in a wooded area near where Kirk was assassinated. Another message from “Tyler” mentioned that he had changed outfits, the governor added.</p>
<p>Cox said that ammunition from the rifle that authorities believe the suspected assassin used to kill Kirk was engraved with multiple phrases, including “Notices Bulges OwO what&#8217;s this?” (a furry culture meme), “^&gt;VVV” (the calldown code for a 500kg bomb in the game Helldivers 2), “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao” (song of the Italian antifascist resistance), “If you read this you are gay LMAO,” and “Hey fascist! Catch!” It does not appear that the suspected assassin made any reference to transgender ideology, as was previously stated in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ammunition-from-charlie-kirk-assassination-was-engraved-with-transgender-and-anti-fascist-ideology">reports</a> citing internal government documents.</p>
<p>FBI Director Patel and Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith thanked the public for its help in catching the suspected assassin. Smith added that the success of law enforcement could not have been achieved without the public’s prayers, patience, and support.</p>
<p>“That is what we needed to get through this,” he said.</p>
<p>Patel added that the investigation remains ongoing, and Governor Cox said that charging documents will likely be filed next week. Utah is one of the few states that still has the death penalty. Both Cox and President Donald Trump have called for Kirk’s assassin to be executed after he is convicted.</p>

Authorities Arrest, Identify Suspected Charlie Kirk Assassin

<p>President Donald Trump announced on Friday morning that the National Guard will be deployed to crime-ridden Memphis, a Democrat-run city in deep-red Tennessee.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to Memphis. I&#8217;m just announcing that now,&#8221; Trump told &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; during an interview in the studio. &#8220;National Guard and anybody else we need, and by the way, we&#8217;re bringing the military too if we need it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump has recently suggested that multiple cities — such as Chicago, Baltimore, and New Orleans — could be next on his list for a federal intervention to combat violent crime. His decision to deploy troops to Memphis means that the president will be working with a friendly state government. Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee <a href="https://www.wsmv.com/2025/09/10/gov-lee-activates-new-thp-surge-combat-crime-memphis-alongside-fbis-operation-viper/">said</a> on Wednesday that he is collaborating with the Trump administration on a plan to address crime in Memphis.</p>
<p>&#8220;For months, I have been in constant communication with the Trump Administration to develop a strategic plan to combat crime in Memphis, leveraging the full extent of both federal and state resources,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;This multi-phased approach includes Operation Viper — an ongoing FBI mission with a dedicated task force of federal, state, and local law enforcement that has already made hundreds of arrests targeting the most violent offenders. Additionally, I have activated a new Tennessee Highway Patrol surge to support the Memphis Police Department that will include 50 more troopers, bringing our THP presence in Shelby County to record levels.&#8221;</p>
<p>Recently released FBI data on violent crime rates in 2024 showed that Memphis is the most violent city in the United States, NBC&#8217;s Nashville affiliate, WSMV 4, <a href="https://www.wsmv.com/2025/09/05/this-tennessee-city-has-highest-violent-crime-rate-country-see-where-your-home-ranks/">reported</a> last week. Last year, Memphis saw 2,501 instances of violent crime for every 100,000 people. The violent crime rate in Memphis was far higher than that of other most violent cities in America. The next highest on the list was Oakland, California, with 1,925 violent crimes reported for every 100,000 people, and Detroit was No. 3 with 1,781 violent crimes per 100,000 people.</p>
<p>Trump has praised the work of the National Guard and federal law enforcement agents in Washington, D.C., after he sent them into the nation&#8217;s capital and directed the Metropolitan Police Department to crack down on violent crime. The president said he wants to address violent crime in cities across the United States.</p>
<p>&#8220;Almost every city that&#8217;s in trouble is run by Democrats,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1966479556388200614">told</a> &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; on Friday morning. &#8220;Cashless bail is a disaster.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s recent moves to deploy the National Guard to D.C. and Los Angeles have been blasted by Democrats, who claim that the president&#8217;s efforts to address violent crime in the U.S. are a power grab. Earlier this month, a federal judge ruled that Trump broke the law when he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles during violent anti-ICE protests in June.</p>

Trump Announces Next ‘Deeply Troubled’ American City National Guard Will Clean Up

<p>Cheers erupted for President Donald Trump at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night, as he was in attendance for the game on the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>The Yankees recognized the 9/11 anniversary before the game, and welcomed &#8220;back to Yankee Stadium the 45th and 47th president of the United States,&#8221; showing the native New Yorker on the Jumbotron as the crowd applauded.</p>

<p>&#8220;The fans were really nice,&#8221; Trump told Fox &amp; Friends on Friday morning during an interview in the studio. &#8220;You never know what you&#8217;re going to get in New York, but we got a tremendous applause because they love this country.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Yankees remembered 9/11 during remarks before the game, and the team&#8217;s scoreboard showed an American flag alongside the inscription, “September 11, 2001, We Shall Not Forget.”</p>
<p>Despite the warm welcome for Trump, his security remained intense. Fans were &#8220;strongly urged to arrive as early as possible&#8221; due to the heightened security, and the Secret Service encouraged fans to leave bags at home, according to the Associated Press. Trump watched the game from the Yankees owner&#8217;s family suite behind three panes of bulletproof glass, the Post reported.</p>
<p>Trump attended the game just one day after the assassination of his loyal supporter and influential conservative, Charlie Kirk. On Wednesday night, the Yankees <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">observed a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-yankees-honor-charlie-kirk-with-moment-of-silence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moment of silence</a> in honor of</span> Kirk.</p>
<p>Trump spoke to the Yankees in their clubhouse before Thursday night&#8217;s game against the Detroit Tigers, telling them, &#8220;You&#8217;re gonna win,&#8221; The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/11/us-news/trump-cheered-on-at-yankee-stadium-by-fans-accurately-predicts-victory-youre-gonna-win/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_source=twitter">reported</a>. The president&#8217;s prediction was correct as the Yankees, led by their star slugger Aaron Judge, beat the Tigers 9-3. In his first at-bat in the first inning, Judge launched a home run 413 feet to center field, and the Yankees&#8217; best player wasn&#8217;t finished, smacking another 434-foot home run ball to center field.</p>
<p>Judge&#8217;s incredible performance came after Trump praised him in the clubhouse before the game.</p>
<p>&#8220;You’re a fantastic player. … You’re an unbelievable player,&#8221; Trump told Judge, according to the Post.</p>
<p>Judge said that meeting Trump was “a surreal moment,” the Associated Press reported.</p>
<p>“He came in here, and he told us we were going to win, so I think that gave everybody the confidence in this room to go out there and do it,&#8221; Judge added. &#8220;I guess we’ve got to have him around more often.”</p>
<p>The Yankees also posed for a photo with Trump.</p>

Cheers Erupt For Trump At Yankee Stadium On 9/11 Anniversary

<p>Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh stood firm in their defense of free speech and conservative values after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even as some unhinged leftists called for more political commentators to be targeted.</p>
<p>Shapiro and Walsh dedicated their shows on Thursday to honoring the legacy of Kirk, who was killed while speaking to students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. During their shows, both Shapiro and Walsh also told their followers that despite concerns of more violence against conservatives, they would never back down and continue to stand &#8220;up for what America is and what she should be.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I saw a lot of rumors online today that I&#8217;m going to cancel some sort of college tour. That&#8217;s bullshit. I saw those rumors. They are false. I will be coming to college campuses, many of them this year,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;So will we all, I am sure, because we are Americans. And we&#8217;re not going to be deterred.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Charlie&#8217;s voice is not silent. We&#8217;re going to pick up that blood-stained microphone where Charlie left it,&#8221; Shapiro added. &#8220;And to those who would intimidate, who would seek to stop us, who would seek to end free discussion, who believe that they have ownership over public spaces and can violently threaten and kill people who speak freely, we are not going to stop. And I have two words: fuck you.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We will not stop telling the truth. We will never stop telling the truth,&#8221; the Daily Wire editor emeritus continued. &#8220;We will never stop debating and discussing. We will never stop standing up for what America is and for what she should be. And we will never let Charlie Kirk&#8217;s voice die.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p>Walsh also remained undeterred from speaking the truth after Kirk&#8217;s assassination, adding that the &#8220;evil gloating&#8221; of Kirk&#8217;s enemies following his killing &#8220;are accolades in their own right.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;May we all be so successful and productive that our enemies celebrate when we die,&#8221; he said. &#8220;May we all be so devastating to the leftist project that they long for our demise. May we all fight so hard and so effectively that they have no choice but to try to kill us. May our lives be a problem for these people, and our deaths a relief.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Let them dance on my grave as they did on Charlie&#8217;s, then I will know that I did my duty,&#8221; Walsh continued, saying that even through Kirk&#8217;s smile and respectful debate, he was a &#8220;devastating fighter.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And his opponents are overjoyed because they think that they&#8217;ve gotten rid of him, but they&#8217;re wrong. They have gravely misjudged the situation. The only thing more powerful than a living fighter is a martyred one,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to be very clear that we will not back down after this. We will not shrink away or go into hiding. We will not fall silent. We will not walk in fear. We will stand taller and prouder than we ever have, and be louder and bolder than we&#8217;ve ever been, and fight harder than we&#8217;ve ever fought.&#8221;</p>

Evening Wire: Kirk’s Killer Caught & Senate Republicans Go Nuclear | 9.12.25

Charlie Kirk’s assassin has been captured and will be brought to justice, thank God. As the nation mourns, young people on college campuses and those impacted by Charlie around the world are courageously rising up with prayer vigils, rallies, and public witness to honor Charlie’s life and demonstrate their commitment to continuing his mission. From Liberty University to Texas A&M to SMU to Catholic University to University of Florida–and from cities in Korea, Spain, Germany, and South Africa, an outpouring of heartfelt tributes are pouring in showing how Charlie’s message of civil debate and cultural revival reached the far flung corners of the globe.

A lot will be said in the days ahead about the incredible things Charlie achieved in his short life, but his greatest legacy is surely not political, but spiritual. He sparked a revival of faith among an entire generation of young men and women as he encouraged them to embrace truth and God’s love and to be Salt and Light in a fallen world.
