September 10, 2025 – Day-of Timeline (Reported Facts and Claims)

This is the single-day clock for September 10, 2025, midnight to midnight, Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) — the Utah clock every other page on this site references. It runs from the pre-dawn aircraft picture, through the camera sightings attributed to Tyler Robinson between 8:07 and 11:49 AM, to the 12:23:30 PM shot, the SUV run to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, the death pronouncement, and the evening manhunt and flight activity. Tyler Robinson is charged, not convicted; every claim below is labeled reported (documented in filings, agency statements, or mainstream coverage) or claimed (citizen-investigator compilation, not adjudicated).

The Timeline

Overnight and morning (00:00 – 11:00 AM MDT)

• ~00:49 MDT (Sept 9 into Sept 10 boundary, claimed) — Citizen flight-trackers place the SAM702 / 99-0404 VIP departure out of Fort Huachuca in the small hours around the Sept 9 date line; the day-before military layer is tracked separately on the Fort Huachuca and military timeline and at Fort Huachuca — Sept 9 Meeting.

• ~7:08 AM MDT (claimed) — Researchers tracking the Egyptian-registered SU-BTT say it departed Utah for Wilmington roughly five hours before the shot, a movement discussed alongside the rest of the Egyptian armada, the SU-BTT claim page and the Egyptian jets at Provo thread.

• ~8:07 AM MDT (reported) — A Ring doorbell camera records a man identified in reports as Tyler Robinson walking on S 800 W toward campus, the first entry in the camera sightings timeline and on the Ring device page.

• ~8:23 AM MDT (reported) — A WYZE camera on W 880 S captures him driving in the area, per the WYZE camera breakdown and the compiled list at Tyler on Surveillance Cameras.

• ~8:29 AM MDT (reported) — UVU surveillance footage reportedly shows his vehicle entering campus, an anchor time that later collides with the 9:24 AM arrival claim below.

• ~9:24 AM MDT (claimed, conflicting) — A clip circulated in July 2026 states police put the campus arrival at 9:24 AM, roughly an hour after the 8:29 AM camera entry; the conflict is unresolved and is carried on the pre-shot campus movements page.

• ~9:57 AM MDT (reported) — Another WYZE clip shows the same individual walking on W 880 S, the last morning sighting before the reported clothing change tracked at Robinson clothing changes.

• ~10:00 AM MDT (claimed, unverified) — The same July 2026 clip asserts the arriving man went to the quad and made contact with representatives of Turning Point USA; no TPUSA employee has been named and no agency has confirmed it, and ordinary event-staff interaction is the baseline explanation — see TPUSA and Tyler Robinson Chat.

• 10:45 AM MDT (claimed) — Master-file notes record that French president Emmanuel Macron called Donald Trump that morning, a data point motive researchers pair with the French Foreign Legion claims and the foreign-leaders meeting thread.

Late morning (11:00 AM – 12:20 PM MDT)

• ~11:17 AM MDT, Sept 9 analog (reported, adjacent day) — Bomb dogs logged in the Fort Huachuca incident report belong to Sept 9, not Sept 10; the FBI bomb-dog pattern is a separate strand and is not part of this day's clock.

• ~11:44 AM MDT (reported) — A Ring camera records the man on W 800 S, now described in media summaries as wearing jeans and a long-sleeve shirt — an outfit different from the morning clips.

• ~11:47 AM MDT (claimed) — ADS-B screenshots cited by aviation researchers show the U.S. Army-linked Bombardier Global 6500 N1098L, associated with the HADES ISR program, making a low-altitude, low-speed pass near Utah Lake and the UVU area about 36 minutes before the shot; see N1098L HADES over UVU and the low-pass timing page.

• ~11:49 AM MDT (reported) — Ring footage shows him again on S 800 W, reportedly heading back toward campus — the last camera sighting before the shot and the outer edge of the feasibility argument on the roof-jumping timeline.

• ~12:00 – 12:20 PM MDT (reported) — Kirk takes the stage under the event tent in the UVU courtyard; security staffing that day was six campus officers for a crowd the chief later described as 3,000, with no counter-snipers and no ambulance on site.

• 12:13 – 12:23 PM MDT (claimed) — The final ten-minute window — runner sprints, the all-black figure, and the stairs guy with a backpack — is reconstructed on the sibling page ten minutes before the shot.

The shot and the first 90 seconds (12:23 PM MDT)

• 12:23:30 PM MDT (reported) — The shot. Most compilations, including those built from police-audio timestamps, place it here; a competing 12:27 PM figure appears in other summaries and is argued out on 12:23 vs 12:27 shooting time and shot time 12:23 vs 12:27.

• +00:00 (12:23:30, claimed) — Acoustic analysts working the Canon XA55 audio track argue the recording contains three separate low-frequency events, not one; the split is examined on the audio and mic timeline and at Acoustic Two-Event Split.

• +00:00 (12:23:30, claimed) — Mikey McCoy is said to call his wife Elizabeth at the instant of the shot, a call sequence disputed on McCoy calls wife.

• 12:23 PM MDT (state claim via 2026 hearing coverage) — Commentary on the preliminary hearing reports the State argued phone geolocation data pings the charged defendant's device on the Losee Center roof at 12:23 PM. The underlying records have not been published, no independent analyst has examined the ping radius, and Robinson is charged, not convicted.

• +00:18 (12:23:48, reported) — Security begins moving Kirk, per the minute-by-minute reconstruction.

• +00:27 (12:23:57, claimed) — Terryl Farnsworth is described as already in position on the rock pile filming, the subject of Farnsworth rock pile.

• +00:25 – +00:31 (12:23:55 – 12:24:01, reported) — Kirk is carried into and loaded into the SUV; the vehicle itself and its later contents are covered at the SUV transporting Charlie.

• +00:33 (12:24:03, claimed) — Mikey McCoy is well past the SUV without Blake Neff in frame — the core of the McCoy/Neff call conflict.

• +00:42 (12:24:12, claimed) — Frank Turek gets into the SUV.

• +00:52 (12:24:22, claimed) — Farnsworth is recorded saying "They just shot Charlie."

• +00:43 – +01:05 (12:24:13 – 12:24:35, reported) — The SUV departs for the hospital; the choice of a scoop-and-run with no ambulance is examined at no ambulance / scoop and run and hospital choice and transport.

• +01:06 (12:24:36, claimed) — Farnsworth is recorded saying "He's dead" — roughly 38 minutes before any surgeon is reported to have pronounced death.

Transport, hospital, and death (12:24 – 1:15 PM MDT)

• 12:24 PM MDT (reported) — SUV begins transport toward Timpanogos Regional Hospital, about 2.6 miles away — not the region's Level I trauma center, a routing question raised at trauma center bypassed.

• ~12:24 PM MDT onward (claimed) — Commentators assert Ben Shapiro began receiving real-time condition updates from the SUV en route; this is a contested inference and is not established in any filing.

• 12:26 PM MDT (reported) — First police report of the shooting is logged in dispatch audio, roughly three minutes after the shot — the gap analyzed at first police report gap and on the dispatch and radio scanner timeline.

• 12:26 PM MDT (claimed) — Mikey McCoy is said to have three-wayed Erika Kirk into a call; the call chain is one of the day's most disputed items and appears on the Erika Kirk timeline.

• 12:29 – 12:35 PM MDT (estimated, reported) — Kirk arrives at Timpanogos Regional Hospital; the scene inside is described at events at hospital and hospital scene and EMS.

• ~12:38 PM MDT (claimed, disputed) — An early version of the Dairy Queen claim placed a person said to be Robinson at 813 E 800 N, Orem only 15 minutes after the shot; a later version moves the same photo to 6:38 PM. Both versions circulate; see the evening entry below and post-shot escape.

• ~12:24 – 12:48 PM MDT (claimed) — A second N1098L low pass is reported in this window, after the shot; exact times vary by source and are cataloged with the rest of the ISR operations picture.

• ~12:56 – 1:13 PM MDT (claimed window) — Citizen reconstructions build a minimum arrival-to-OR-to-pronouncement chain of 33–50 minutes, landing death in this range; one master-file note gives 1:03:30 PM MDT as the pronouncement. The comparison against the Jerusalem Post publication time is the load-bearing dispute — see OR timeline vs Jerusalem Post and the medical and death timeline.

• ~1:00 PM MDT onward (claimed) — A surgeon is reported to have been blocked from returning to the room by federal personnel, and hospital interior footage was reportedly seized; see FBI hospital footage seizure and hospital footage and NDAs.

• ~1:00 PM MDT onward (claimed) — Observers describe the emergency room as unusually empty and note personnel changes around that week, including a CEO who had started weeks earlier.

Afternoon: crowd, scene, and first custody claims

• ~12:42 PM MDT (reported) — The first campus alert goes out roughly 19 minutes after the shot and states "suspect in custody" — which was not true; the alerting failures are documented in the GRAMA release summarized at UVU pre-shooting warnings and campus security gaps.

• ~1:02 PM MDT (documented) — President Donald Trump posts news of the shooting on Truth Social — the first federal-level public acknowledgement, roughly 39 minutes after the shot and before any official confirmation of death. Statement sequencing is tracked on the press conferences and statements timeline.

• ~1:37 PM MDT (reported) — UVU closes campus and urges evacuation — see the UVU institutional response.

• ~1:51 PM MDT (reported) — A Run-Hide-Fight alert goes out about 88 minutes after the shot still containing placeholder text reading "Shooter in INSERT location" — per the same GRAMA documents.

• ~2:01 PM MDT (reported) — UVU reverses the evacuation instruction and tells remaining persons to secure in place. The close-then-secure sequence inside 25 minutes is part of the alerting-failure record at campus security gaps.

• ~2:40 PM MDT (documented) — Trump confirms Charlie Kirk's death on Truth Social. Researchers weigh this against the disputed hospital/OR clock and the Jerusalem Post announcement question on the medical and death timeline.

• ~4:00 PM MDT (documented) — Governor Spencer Cox holds a press conference calling the killing a "political assassination." See the Utah officials timeline.

• Afternoon (reported) — George Zinn is detained at the scene after shouting; witnesses later said they recognized him from prior TPUSA events. He was not charged in the shooting. Distraction-actor theories are collected at patsies and distraction actors, the list of distraction people and the distraction events timeline.

• Afternoon (reported) — Zachariah Qureshi is publicly announced as a person in custody and released roughly 90 minutes later with no explanation (arrest record); researchers argue the announcement paused the search. He has not been charged.

• Afternoon (claimed) — The Mauser .30-06 is reported found in wooded ground near campus only after a third search: an arm-to-arm sweep found nothing, dogs found nothing, and the weapon surfaced after federal personnel directed junior officers to search again — see gun discovery sequence, gun dropped location and the rifle chain of custody.

• Afternoon (state theory via July 2026 prelim inventory) — Attorney Andrea Burkhart (@aburkhartlaw) publicly listed day-of items the State later argued at the preliminary hearing: a screwdriver (DNA mixture discussed in court), a sniper pad on the Losee Center roof, and shoe impressions/scuffs at the northeast drop corner, alongside the Mauser recovery already on this clock. Robinson is charged, not convicted.

• Afternoon (claimed) — An executive is described removing an SD card from a camera at the scene; the account and the counterargument are at SD card removed.

Evening (5:00 PM – midnight MDT)

• ~6:38 PM MDT (claimed photo; not a state exhibit) — Candace Owens and amplifiers (e.g. @MJTruthUltra) circulated a previously unseen photo of a person they identify as Robinson at the Orem Dairy Queen, timestamped 6:38 PM — about six hours after the shot and roughly 15–17 minutes' drive from campus. Some commentary frames the stop as a planted-clothing drop point rather than proof of presence. Multiple independent summaries state the prosecution did not introduce that photo at the July 2026 preliminary hearing. See the Candace Owens timeline.

• ~7:12 PM MDT (claimed) — Aviation trackers say the private jet N888KG departed Provo Municipal Airport, about a 10–12 minute drive from UVU. A competing version in the same master-file notes says it left 45 minutes after the assassination; the two departure times are not reconciled.

• ~7:44 – 7:58 PM MDT (claimed) — The same trackers say N888KG disabled its ADS-B transponder roughly 30–46 minutes into the flight, going dark over the Arizona/Nevada corridor. Aviation commentators note disabling ADS-B mid-flight is not routine; no agency has publicly described this flight as connected to the shooting.

• ~8:30 – 9:00 PM MDT (claimed) — N888KG is said to reappear on public radar reversing course and later lands back at Provo, with no publicly filed flight plan. A separate strand claims a landing at Wendover and a leg to Page, Arizona; the accounts conflict and are held together at other planes activity and foreign flight records.

• ~8:55–9:47 PM MDT (claimed) — Citizen investigators (@DiligentDenizen and others) say a Panguitch, Utah steakhouse receipt (Cowboy’s / Smokehouse Grill) and staff place a person identified as Robinson dining roughly three hours after the DQ photo and ~8–9 hours after the shot, on the southbound route toward Washington County. The stop is not part of the official charging narrative summarized publicly; geography debates compare it to alleged late-night Orem activity. See post-shot escape.

• ~11:00 PM MDT onward (alleged texts; state theory) — Preliminary-hearing inventories and TPUSA-adjacent summaries of Agent Hull testimony (@BlakeSNeff) describe a longer text thread with roommate Lance Twiggs — the device examined on Lance Twiggs' phone — in which the account attributed to Robinson allegedly admitted the shooting, said the rifle was left wrapped in a towel in a bush, and discussed a failed retrieval — plus a note photographed under a keyboard and later described as partially burnt. Authenticity and authorship remain contested by citizen investigators who date custody earlier. See Tyler: Sept 8–13.

• Evening (claimed) — A further flight, N560TW, is described running Scottsdale to Provo and back out via Santa Barbara the same day — the Sept 10 Scottsdale-Provo turnaround claim — and it is one of the day's least-examined aircraft entries.

• Evening (reported) — The manhunt framing begins. Officials later described a "33-hour manhunt" ending Sept 11; researchers who date custody earlier dispute that arithmetic on the Kash Patel manhunt timeline, in the Patel press briefings and at Miranda vs Brooksby account.

• Evening into midnight (claimed) — Some early summaries place an arrest around midnight at a nearby apartment; official filings place the surrender on Sept 11. The surrender chain is on Sept 8–13 and Sept 11 surrender and custody.

• ~12:30–12:38 AM Sept 11 (hearing testimony, disputed occupancy) — Agent David Hull testimony clips (@JLRINVESTIGATES, @BlakeSNeff) and state inventories describe a gray Dodge Challenger near the gun-recovery neighborhood (Noble Ring, W 925 / Campus Drive). An officer reportedly logged the plate to Robinson. Defense-focused commentary notes a homeowner report of a bald driver and three passengers, not a confirmed solo Robinson exit. This overnight bridge is expanded on Sept 8–13 and post-shot escape.

• Same evening (reported) — Within roughly one to four hours of the death being reported, a successor spokesman was on national television; the succession fight is tracked at Erika CEO succession disputed and the TPUSA organizational timeline.

Conflicts and Disputed Points

Item	Version A	Version B	Who asserts each
Shot time	12:23:30 PM	12:27 PM	Police-audio-synced compilations vs some media/trash timeline compilations
Campus arrival	8:29 AM (UVU camera)	9:24 AM (police, per a 2026 clip)	Camera-timestamp researchers vs the circulated clip
Dairy Queen photo	12:38 PM (early posts) / ~5–6 PM band (some social)	6:38 PM Owens release	Early social posts vs Candace Owens amplifiers; State reportedly did not introduce the photo at prelim
Panguitch steakhouse vs Orem midnight	~8:55–9:47 PM Panguitch dining (citizen receipt)	~12:30 AM Challenger near gun area (Hull / plate log)	Citizen alibi-path vs state retrieval-attempt narrative; both cannot easily be true for the same person
N888KG departure	~7:12 PM	~45 min after the shot	MonkeyWerx-style ADS-B reads vs shorter master-file notes
Death pronouncement	~1:03 PM	12:56 PM – 1:13 PM range	A single master-file timestamp vs the reconstructed minimum-chain window
Cause of the neck wound	Rifle round	Device under the shirt	Official finding and charging documents vs exploding-mic proponents
Custody start	Sept 11 surrender	Late Sept 10 / earlier Sept 11	Charging documents vs Baron Coleman and early-custody researchers
Noble Ring driver	Tyler driving (Hull testimony summaries)	Bald man + three passengers (homeowner report on cross)	Agent testimony vs defense-focused hearing commentary

Open Questions

1. Which single authenticated clock — camera EXIF, CAD dispatch log, or hospital intake record — is the site of record for the 12:23 versus 12:27 dispute?
2. Why does the campus arrival time move by roughly an hour between the UVU camera timestamp and the police account repeated in 2026?
3. What is the certified time the surgeon pronounced death, and how does it compare to the first published death report?
4. Was the N888KG transponder gap an equipment issue, an authorized suppression, or something else — and who were the passengers?
5. Why did the recovered rifle surface only on a third search, and what is the unbroken chain of custody from discovery forward?
6. Who took the SD card at the scene, what was on it, and where is it now?
7. Can the Panguitch steakhouse receipt window and the ~12:30 AM Campus Drive / Noble Ring Challenger contact both be true for the same driver?
8. Were the ~11:00 PM Twiggs texts authenticated as originating from Robinson’s device, and when was that phone last in his physical control?

Laws (Charlie Kirk)

The certified death certificate and operating-room record with the exact pronouncement time, the full synchronized UVU camera set with authenticated timecodes, the complete CAD dispatch log for September 10, the N1098L HADES mission orders and flight manifest, the N888KG passenger list and the technical record of its ADS-B gap, the seized hospital interior footage, and the chain-of-custody file for the recovered rifle and the removed SD card are things the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws may result in powerful truths coming out that aren't out yet.

Best understanding of when this happened

Best understanding: public investigation timelines place the shot at about 12:23 PM MDT on SEPT 10, 2025. Chart is SEPT 10 daytime hours only.

Date range (working model): SEPT 10 ~10AM–3PM · Peak ~12:23 PM MDT

The chart below is not a government finding. Bar height is relative likelihood from public claims. Domain is trimmed to non-trivial likelihood.

Commentator coverage: Citizen journalist Ian Carroll has publicly questioned several strands of this day-of clock — according to his posts he has analyzed the roof footage, tracked flight OSINT on aircraft such as N1098L and SU-BTT, and argued the FBI's lone-gunman account leaves timeline questions unresolved.

Charlie Trip to Hospital

No ambulance, no sirens — carried into a private vehicle by his own detail. Using the car already on hand in a chaotic scene is not evidence of wrongdoing, which is why the page is about who controlled the evidence, not about rescue.

Farnsworth Already Filming From the Rock Pile (Claims)

Terryl Farnsworth was reportedly filming from a rock pile 27 seconds after the shot and said "He's dead" at 12:24:36. Critics call it foreknowledge; the ordinary reading is a bystander watching a man bleed.
