Utah Gov. Cox: Inscription on an Unfired Casing Said: ‘Hey Fascist! Catch!’

COX: “I know there has been speculation as well as to the writing on those casings, those bullet casings, and I believe we have that, as well. And I will share that with you now. So, the area north of campus drive road, where the suspect crossed over, you saw that in the video we released last night, consists of a grassy area with trees on edge of the UVU campus. Investigators discovered a bolt-action rifle wrapped in a dark-colored towel. The rifle was determined to be a Mouser model 98 .30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle. The The rifle had a scope mounted on top of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions on a fired casing read ‘Notices bulges. OWO, What is this?’ Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read, ‘Hey, fascist! Catch! ↑→ ↓↓↓.’ Second unfired casing read, ‘Oh, Bella ciao, Bella ciao, ciao, ciao,’ and a third unfired casing read, ‘If you read this, you are gay. LMAO.’ We are indebted to law enforcement across the state who has worked seamlessly together, local law enforcement, state law enforcement and our federal partners with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
