What are the latest developments in the Utah murder case involving activist Charlie Kirk?
State prosecutors in Utah say they plan to file aggravated murder charges against the young man who fatally shot conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and Pierre's Bobby Allen is in Salt Lake City with the latest.
Utah authorities say 22-year-old Tyler Robinson will be facing murder, firearm, and other charges as early as Tuesday. Robinson has been detained in a county jail since he turned himself over to authorities in connection with the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
Exact motivation and political ideology, but so far investigators have not elaborated beyond saying Robinson knew Kirk was going to be in Utah and that he thought Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate. A memorial and funeral service for Kirk has been set for later this month in Arizona. Bobby Allen in PR News, Salt Lake City.

How will cuts to federal education funding affect student parents and childcare costs?
Without the funds, there's fear students might drop out, Northwest Public Broadcasting's Lauren Gallup reports.
Washington State has some of the highest child care costs in the country. Clover Park Technical College here in Tacoma has used a federal grant program to help its student parents cover those costs, but the college just found out it won't be getting that money this year. Dean Kelly is Vice President for Student Success at Clover Park.
Some students just can't afford that without the the help. And so they may need to drop out.
Kelly says a letter from the US Department of Education pointed to some training the college does to serve diverse populations as the reason for polling the funding. The US Department of Education didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. For NPR News, I'm Lauren Gallup in Tacoma, Washington.
