 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May ​28, yet U.S. military flights into Nanyuki continued in the days that followed, according to data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24.

 Lawyers for man accused of killing Charlie Kirk request delay of May hearing to review ballistic evidence

 Lawyers for Tyler Robinson, the man charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, have requested a delay of his preliminary hearing set for May, citing the need to review extensive evidence and a bullet analysis that could support his defense.

Robinson’s attorneys said recent testing by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives could not definitively link a bullet fragment recovered from the victim to the rifle found at the scene. Additional testing is reportedly ongoing. The report remains private, though portions referenced in public filings suggest inconclusive results. Forensic experts examine microscopic markings on bullets, which act like fingerprints, but the results depend heavily on fragment size and condition.

The defense indicated it may use the analysis to challenge Robinson’s connection to the shooting during the preliminary hearing, while prosecutors aim to show sufficient evidence to move forward with a trial. Robinson, 22, faces aggravated murder charges for the September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University in Orem and has not entered a plea. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Authorities say DNA matching Robinson’s was found on the rifle trigger, a fired cartridge casing, and two unfired cartridges. Defense attorneys note some items contained DNA from multiple individuals, complicating the analysis. Prosecutors also allege Robinson told his partner he targeted Kirk because he “had had enough of his hatred.”

Robinson is scheduled to return to court on April 17 for a hearing on a defense request to prohibit cameras in the courtroom.
