Suspected Kirk Shooter’s Gaming History Probed by Secret Service

US law enforcement is building a profile on suspected Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson, including his use of Donald Trump's name as a pseudonym on Valve Corp.'s Steam video-game platform.

The US Secret Service has joined the investigation into the shooting, working with the FBI to study Robinson's behavior and online activity to understand how suspects form grievances and select targets.

Experts warn against making too much of the suspected shooter's interest in video games, citing a lack of evidence linking violent video-game play to violence and suggesting other factors like exposure to violence and access to weapons are more relevant.
