The suspected shooter in connection to Charlie Kirk's assassination is now in custody, following a frantic manhunt. The conservative commentator was killed while speaking at a university in Utah. Police are now working to identify a motive.

Paul Hunter reports. We got him. The relief in the voice of Utah Governor Spencer Cox palpable in announcing the arrest of Tyler Robinson. A 22-year-old from southwestern Utah now accused in the brutal killing of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk. I want to thank the family members of Tyler Robinson who did the right thing in this case and were able to bring him into law enforcement. The family said Cox also made clear to police that Robinson had become more political in recent years. Including, he said, a stated dislike for Kirk and his politics.

Cox also described a rifle and bullet casings found near the scene of the shooting. The casings had inscriptions with taunting, meme-style phrasings, such as he said, Hey, fascist, exclamation point, catch exclamation point. Paul Hunter, CBC News, Washington. Conservative leader, Pierre Poliev, is reflecting on security in this country in the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing. He told Catherine Cullen, host of CBC Radio's The House, that there is a need to ensure security for all political leaders in Canada. I worry for my family.

and they have been serious threats. You can catch the full interview with a conservative leader, Pierre Poliaf, this weekend on CBC Radio's The House. The Canadian Union of Post worker says it will suspend the delivery of commercial flyers in an attempt to get Canada Post back to the bargaining table. We have to use the tools that are available to us, and right now we've shifted to a flyer ban starting on Monday. The ban is a shift away from the previous

tactic of withholding overtime hours, which Canada Post said was affecting service. It's the latest move after more than a year and a half of inconclusive labor negotiations. Canada Post says the flyer ban is unfortunate and will further impact the Crown Corporation's finances. A hail storm that swept through Calgary on July 13th is now estimated to cost $164 million in insured damages. That's nearly double what was initially estimated last month. Aaron Sutherland is with the Insurance Bureau of Canada. He says many contractors are learning that the storm caused more property damage than they thought. He says it's part of a costly trend in Alberta.

We've seen $6 billion in damage from hail in just the last five years. And this has got to be a wake-up call to start doing things. differently. For homes, businesses, that means we need to start mandating the use of hair-resistant roofing and materials. He says cost estimates from the August storm will be released in the coming weeks. However, he projects that it will be in the tens, if not hundreds, of millions. A 14-year-old boy is facing charges for allegedly bringing an imitation firearm to an emminton area of school. The CBC's Madeline Smith has the story. RCMP arrested the teen yesterday afternoon after a 911 call from a teacher,

a student with a gun in a classroom. It happened at Archbishop Jordan Catholic High School in Sherwood Park, just east of Edmonton. After a heavy police presence at the grade 9 to 12 school, Mounties say they found what they believe is an imitation firearm. No one was hurt. The boy is accused of assault and weapons possession charges, as well as using an imitation firearm to commit an offense. Because he's a minor, he can't be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Police say he's been released from custody, and he's due in court later this month. Madeline Smith, CBC News, Edmonton. And that is your world is sour.
