Tyler Robinson, who was arrested for the assassination of Charlie Kirk, reportedly confessed that he was the killer.
That report is from WaPo.
The 22-year-old suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing appears to have confessed to friends in an online chat shortly before turning himself in to law enforcement, according to two people familiar with the chat and screenshots obtained by The Washington Post.
'Hey guys, I have bad news for you all,' said a message from an account belonging to the suspect, Tyler Robinson, on the online platform Discord. 'It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this.'
The message was sent Thursday night, about two hours before officials said Robinson was taken into custody.
A member of the group chat shared an image of the conversation with The Post and confirmed that it came from Robinson's account. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect their privacy and out of fear of harassment.
The Discord conversation shared with The Post shows members of the group chat reacting to Kirk's shooting last Wednesday - before the news broke that Robinson was allegedly involved. The group included about 30 people, according to the person who provided screenshots.
'Charlie Kirk got shot,' one friend wrote Wednesday afternoon, according to an image of the messages.
'I just saw the video holy s--,' another user wrote about an hour and a half later, adding of Kirk: 'Bro didn't deserve to go out like that sad.'
The only response from Robinson's account came the next day with the message announcing 'bad news.'
'im surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few moments,' the message, posted at 7:57 p.m. local time in Utah, continued. 'thanks for all the good times and laughs, you've all been so amazing, thank you all for everything.'
Here's Fox News:
Robinson reportedly posted on Discord two hours before turning himself in.
FBI Director Kash Patel also said Monday that DNA left behind at the scene matches Robinson's.
The real question: Who else on Discord (or other apps) may have known about or even encouraged the attack?
