Alan Robertson

:::caution Legal Disclaimer Nothing on this page is a claim of fact that Alan Robertson committed any crime or acted illegally, immorally, or unethically. He is a living person, has not been charged with anything, and is presumed innocent. Even his reported presence on the rooftop rests on an influencer identification from bystander footage, not an official confirmation. This page documents reported claims and open questions — not findings of fact. :::

Alan Robertson (rendered "Alan Robinson" in some coverage) is reportedly an officer of the Utah State University Department of Public Safety. In an August 2026 episode, Candace Owens — crediting an X user called "Muppet Masher" for the identification — claimed that Robertson is the previously unnamed plain-clothes officer seen in bystander footage on the Losee Center rooftop with UVU officer Chris Bagley minutes after the September 10, 2025 shooting of Charlie Kirk. Bagley had testified at the preliminary hearing that he could not remember the man's name or anything about him.

The Reported Identification​

According to an August 3, 2026 post by @ProjectConstitu summarizing the Owens episode (nearly verbatim):

Bystander footage from 12:47 PM shows the second man clearly. He is Officer Alan Robinson of the Utah State University Department of Public Safety — not even a UVU officer. Robinson had only joined the USU police force the summer before. On paper he was a relative newcomer sent over as general reinforcement. Yet in the early footage he appears to be the one directing activity on that rooftop. Officer Bagley, for reasons still unexplained, could not (or would not) name him under oath. A brand-new officer from a different university ends up on the critical rooftop minutes after the shooting, seems to be running the show, and the only UVU officer up there with him suddenly has amnesia about his identity.

Key Statements from the Video​

From the Owens episode clip (transcribed):

  • Owens says she combed through footage sent to her from September 10 and found bystander footage captured at 12:47 p.m. showing who Bagley was with on the rooftop (Bagley reportedly arrived around 12:44–12:45).
  • "Credit to Muppet Masher on X, who was able to identify the person. It is Officer Alan Robinson from the Utah State University Department of Public Safety… So not even a UVU officer."
  • "He had just joined the USU police force the summer before. Here was the announcement on Facebook."
  • "As we're going through all that early footage, he actually seems like he's the person that's immediately in charge… We're told he's just some rookie officer from Utah State University… It's not even his campus. Why would anyone listen to this dude?"
  • Owens frames her conclusion with explicit hedging: "Seemingly, allegedly."

Reported USU Bio: Military and Police Background​

Hours after the Owens episode, X user @darlenamirarchi — replying to the @ProjectConstitu post with "I found a treasure trove on the guy" — shared screenshots of what appears to be a Utah State University Veterans Resource Office page (usu.edu) for "Alan Robertson" (that spelling). Her quoted post states: "This is Alan Robertson. The second man on the roof with Bailey. Of course he has a military pedigree."

According to the bio text in the screenshots (nearly verbatim):

Alan Robertson is a full-time police officer with USU Police and has been with our agency for a little under a year. He has also worked as an officer with North Park Police and for several years with San Bernardino police in California. He spent 5 years in the military and was in the USMC Infantry w/ 1st Battalion 5th Marines. Deployments include Combat (Afghanistan) and Humanitarian (Japan/Southeast Asia), Squad Leader/Team Leader. In the short time he has been with USU Police his leadership has shown; he is now a Field Training Officer (FTO) and has initiated a new field training program… He will be attending a certification class to become one of our firearms Instructors soon. He is… calm and collected during high stress situations.

If the bio matches the man in the rooftop footage, it would contradict the framing of him as merely a green rookie: it describes a combat-deployed Marine infantry squad leader with years of prior police experience. Caution: a public university bio praising an officer's military service and skills is entirely ordinary — many police officers are veterans — and nothing in this background establishes any wrongdoing or any connection to the shooting itself. The link between this bio and the man in the footage remains an unofficial social-media identification.

Open Questions​

  1. Is the identification correct? Neither USU, UVU, nor the court has confirmed the second officer's identity.
  2. If it is Robertson, why was a recently hired USU officer on the Losee Center rooftop — the alleged sniper's perch — within minutes of the shooting?
  3. Does body-cam or radio-log evidence from USU officers at the event exist, and has it been disclosed?
  4. Why could Bagley not identify a fellow responding officer under oath, and did investigators ever establish the man's identity internally?

Counterarguments and Innocent Explanations​

  • Mutual aid is routine. Officers from neighboring agencies commonly reinforce large campus events, and a USU officer assisting at UVU is not inherently suspicious.
  • The identification is unofficial. A social-media match from low-resolution bystander footage can be wrong; faces, hats, and builds are easily confused.
  • "Directing activity" is an interpretation. Short clips of officers gesturing do not establish who held command.
  • Not remembering a name is ordinary. In a chaotic mass-casualty response, failing to catch an unfamiliar officer's name is a common, innocent occurrence.
