Megyn Kelly Says Claim About Bullet in Charlie Kirk Case Is ‘Misleading,’ Believes It Was Tyler Robinson

Megyn Kelly is zeroing in on the latest headlines related to the murder of Charlie Kirk.

After reports claimed that the bullet that killed the right-wing political activist was not one that matched a rifle used by alleged shooter Tyler Robinson, Kelly did some digging of her own.

During the Wednesday, April 1, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the political commentator, 55, said that she has been “open to other questions” regarding Charlie’s assassination on September 10, 2025, at age 31. However, she said, “The police say it was Tyler Robinson, and I believe it was Tyler Robinson.”

Kelly then pointed out that a Daily Mail headline reading, “Bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did NOT match rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson, new court filing claims” got “so much attention” this week “even though it turns out it was somewhat misleading.”

Kelly pointed out that Robinson’s defense team allegedly “wants to delay or even vacate an upcoming preliminary hearing so that there’s more time for the defense to receive and examine evidence.”

The prosecuting attorney in Robinson’s case previously fired back at the defense, telling TMZ that the results from the analysis were inconclusive.

“Generally when a bullet fragment analysis comes back as inconclusive, that means the fragment did not contain enough detail for the examiner to say one way or the other,” attorney Christopher Ballard told the outlet.

“There’s just not enough there to determine whether the bullet was fired by a particular firearm,” he added. “We have ample evidence to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that Tyler Robinson committed this murder and we will present some of that evidence at the upcoming preliminary hearing – and then we will present all of that evidence at the trial.”

Kelly said on her show that “inconclusive is not the same thing as ‘did not match.’”

“So what are they trying to tell us?” she asked. “I think a lot of people were very confused, but we are no longer confused because we’ve done some investigation with our gun experts and our legal experts.”

Kelly’s guest Andrew Branca, an expert on American self-defense law, explained, “All we have here is an inconclusive result. And, frankly, it doesn’t surprise me. It’s not unusual to fire a bullet, especially a high-power rifle bullet into a human body, end up with a lot of fragmentation.”

Charlie’s widow, Erika Kirk, formally requested a speedy trial in the case against Robinson, who is currently facing multiple charges — including one count of aggravated murder — in connection to Charlie’s death.

Charlie was killed in broad daylight while speaking at Utah Valley University as part of his American Comeback Tour.

Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
