"In some ways, the investigation is still in the early days. But I do believe we have the shooter in custody. Say a prayer for Erika Kirk and those two beautiful babies.

The charges that allow Robinson to be held include aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm and obstruction of justice, the officer said.

Cox told CNN that the state will be working on formal charging documents in the coming days. Those documents would include additional information on probable cause for a case. "The county attorney will be working very closely with Mr. Kirk's family, as those documents and decisions are prepared and made," Cox said.
