George Zinn, the guy who distracted officers by falsely claiming he was Charlie Kirk’s shooter, has now been charged with possession of child exploitation material. That’s on top of his obstruction charge. He will most likely die in prison, and the public may never get answers about who this guy really is or what his motives were. This whole thing just keeps getting stranger.

NEW: The 71-year-old audience member who was arrested at Charlie Kirk’s UVU event says he told cops he shot Kirk to distract police so the real shooter could escape.
“I shot him, now shoot me,” George Zinn allegedly said immediately after Kirk was shot.
