The bullet that killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk may not match the rifle used by suspected killer Tyler Robinson, a bombshell new court filing states. But his defense attorneys now argue that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 'was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr Robinson.' Prosecutors have alleged Robinson drove three hours from his home to the university campus to kill Kirk, 31. Tyler's grandfather had given him the rifle as a gift before he used it to kill Kirk, authorities have said. Those in his inner circle have identified him as having been radicalized by left-wing extremists, but claimed he provided no indication that he would kill Kirk.
