Zinn detained after false confession
Minutes after the shot, George Zinn, 71, yelled he had shot Kirk and was cuffed on camera. Later said the shout was to hinder police. Not the gunman. Viral video burned the first hour.
Quoted Robinson-Twiggs texts later refer to police grabbing “some crazy old dude.” Sheriff: no evidence Zinn colluded with the shooter. Separate later convictions are not this homicide.
