Probably didn't even find the rifle responsible. More reason to believe it was a setup.

Breaking News: the entire text of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood was found to be engraved on bullet casings left at the scene, according to a source. So we should ban that book from all schools, fr fr.

Trans-antifascists is something I can support
seems like this wasnt even an accurate report
https://bsky.app/profile/thelincoln.bsky.social/post/3lyl5ljm2h22m
but WSJ ran with it.
Can you believe, once upon a tine long long ago The Wall Street Journal actually had integrity in journalism.
Now it's a billionaire's plaything.

Yeah what the fuck. Just like Luigi's alleged engravings. It doesnt make any sense beyond an emotional response. Why take the time to engrave something no one will see? Its going faster than the speed of sound.
Typically you would engrave the casing. That goes nowhere near the target.
So yeah.
The casing that the shooter took with them?
Why leave rifle full of them & not leave the one you fired?
This was a CIA or Mossad hit & the shooter isn't even in the USA at this point.
Then to the same degree, why engrave the evidence to make it easier to track? It still doesnt make sense.
So this line of reasoning is a trap. People do dumb ass shit all the time for emotional reasons, including criminals. In fact, people doing dumb ass shit is so reliable that police investigative procedures are almost designed around it.

Satanic Panic is back
In related news, doctors were amazed they kept pulling books and scrolls from the body, placed there by the bullets.
“It’s amazing” said the orange as quoted by the wsj, “apparently books like this can kill. I’m sure he could have survived the wound without the additional poisoning.”
In response to this, reaction forces were posed to raid the libraries of all elementary schools within the washington dc area
Not seeing other outlets report this. So yeah I'm skeptical.
Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/charlie-kirk-shot/card/pdymd1sXXMSlVRhpvR4b
It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:

Total BS. Engraving on a small, curved surface, legibly is hard as hell. Then that bullet is going to get grooved in a rifled barrel, and most likely deform or fragment on impact.
We should probably be talking about how Trump used a fucking AI video to address Charlie Kirk's death. There's a good chance Trump is doing this as a false flag
If it was engraved, it would be on the casing, not the bullet. I imagine many journalists don't actually know the difference, and most readers probably wouldn't as well.
That said, I agree, I don't see why the shooter would spend the time. If there were any markings, I'm going to guess they're permanent marker, because that's way easier to do.
My money is on this being completely bogus. I believe they found the rifle (first rule of murder school is to not bring the weapon with you), but I do not believe they found engraved bullets, because that's kind of ridiculous.

I hope a trans person did shoot him and I hope they get away with it. Kirk made his living by terrorizing and dehumanizing queer folks and I’m happy he finally got to the FO stage. Hopefully seeing daddy get blown away will ensure his kid doesn’t grow up to be as bigoted and the lesson is learned.
Oh Gods I hope this isn't the case. The right would start foaming at the mouth and could start rounding us up as threats.
It's also... a little ghoulish to speak about a kid losing their parent that way. Whatever you think of the man his kid's grief isn't exactly something to celebrate. I get not mourning the man but celebrating his death isn't going to help us trans folks in the end. I have a feeling that this is going to get a whole lot worse for all of us as a people very quickly and as a whole we're already a group hanging on by our fingertips.
Yeah if a trans person shot him best case is just a pogrom
I don't. I hope it was a MAGA nutjob or similar so the administration doesn't get a good boogeyman

“antifacsist ideology”?
So, what…an American Flag? Right? Right…?
Yeah, what is antifascist ideology? Like, equal rights, being nice,... That kind of stuff?
And transgender ideology? What is that? To be nice to transgender people?
And transgender ideology? What is that? To be nice to transgender people?
If I were to frame it in terms of an ideology - that we should be allowed to pursue happiness and comfort aided by the backing of scientific evidence to ensure we are safe. That our lives not be rendered into terms where reproductive function or lack thereof dictates how we must live our lives.
And that while we do not demand full metaphysical submission of belief of other people that we are our gender it should be acknowledged that our social engineering mechanisms are a kindness that allow us greater room to psychologicaly function. These absences of accommodation in professional situations or public design causes either our livelihoods or accessibility to spaces or facets of society to become hardships above and beyond the average citizen.
I personally do not care if someone is "nice" to me or not. I care about being able to leave their vacinity if they are being an ass and that my safety and job security isn't effected by me being trans.
