Man Who Falsely Claimed to Be Charlie Kirk’s Killer Is Charged

A 71-year-old man has been charged with obstruction after allegedly pretending to be the gunman in the assassination of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk.

George Zinn was arrested moments after the fatal Sept. 10 shooting of the right-wing activist at Utah Valley University, when he told an officer at the scene: “I shot him, now shoot me.”

Video taken during the chaotic aftermath of the shooting showed officers escorting Zinn away as his trousers slipped to his ankles while bystanders shouted, “How dare you?” One officer was caught on camera saying, “He said he shot him, but I don’t know.”
