WASHINGTON, Utah — A police presence is currently seen at two locations in Washington County as police continue an investigation into suspected Utah Valley University shooter Tyler Robinson.
Police tape and vehicles were set up outside what is believed to be Robinson's St. George unit in the Fountain Heights apartment complex.
At Robinson's family home in Washington, a Dodge Challenger, which may be the vehicle officials said Robinson used to drive to the Orem school, is parked in front. It has yet to be confirmed whether the vehicle is, in fact, the car that was used.
Several unmarked police vehicles are outside the home, but authorities have not been seen going in or out of the house.

Neighborhood residents around the home on Friday were complimentary of the family.
"I just know them as very good people," said Alanea Shaw. "They are quiet and kind of keep to themselves a lot, but whenever I've needed anything, they've been able to come over and help, very graciously and kindly.
The Washington County Attorney's Office sent out a message that Robinson is not related to a local law enforcement official, as had been shared on multiple social media channels.
Washington County officials also released a statement about the shooter being from their community. The statement read, "To hear that the perpetrator of such terrible political violence was raised in our beautiful community is profoundly shocking."
The statement continued, "We are immensely grateful to our local law enforcement for their swift, coordinated action alongside federal authorities to investigate and arrest the suspected shooter, who has now been transported out of the area."

The Lt. Governor's office released information to FOX 13 News on Friday showing that Robinson was registered to vote in 2021 as an unaffiliated voter. However, due to the fact that Robinson hadn't voted in the two previous election cycles, he was classified as an inactive voter.
Dixie Technical College in St. George said Robinson is a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program, but added no other information.
The Utah Board of Higher Education confirmed that Robinson had attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021 and received concurrent enrollment credit through Utah Tech University while in high school.
"Utah’s colleges and universities work to ensure that more than 225,000 students are gaining the skills, knowledge and experiences they need to succeed in the workforce and build stronger communities," the board expressed in a statement. "Our campuses foster exploration, learning and the respectful exchange of diverse viewpoints. Attempts to silence or intimidate those voices have no place here. We will continue working to ensure our students, faculty and guests can safely express their perspectives."
The Associated Press also confirmed with military branches that Robinson had no affiliation with the armed services.
