The sheriff\u2019s department said suspects may be placed on \u201cspecial watch\u201d<\/p>\n

for a range of reasons, including the nature of their crime, behavioral issues, violent conduct, or suicidal remarks during arrest.<\/p>\n

Officials noted they were specifically alerted to concerns about suicidal comments in Robinson\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

Robinson is accused of fatally shooting Kirk, 31, on Wednesday during a Turning<\/p>\n
