Schoolfriends of suspected Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson thought he would grow up to be…

Ex-classmates of the suspected Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson have said they always believed he would grow up to be a billionaire CEO.

Robinson, 22, was on Friday arrested on suspicion of assassinating the conservative political activist, 31, at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

The young man was apprehended following a 33-hour manhunt after he was persuaded to turn himself in by his father.

But schoolfriends of the alleged shooter have taken to social media to share their personal insights and memories of the student, who was a member of the auto mechanics club at Pine View High School in St George, Utah.

As they flicked through their yearbooks, a smiling Robinson can be seen in a checkered shirt on the bottom row alongside a page of other students.

A former classmate, Jaida Funk, points him out and says: ‘I always thought I’d see him more as a CEO or something, or a businessman, some billioanire by 26, rather than what’s transpired now’.

The 22-year-old went on to describe Robinson as ‘really well-rounded’ and a ‘sharp, kind, respectful individual, the type of kid that reminds the teacher that they need to assign homework’.

According to the schoolfriend, the passionate mathematician ‘just got along with everyone and everyone liked him’.
