The 22-year-old man suspected in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk confessed to friends in a group chat that he had killed the conservative activist — hours before authorities said he was taken into custody, according to a report.
“Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this,” read a message from the suspect, Tyler Robinson, on the online platform Discord, two people familiar with the chat told The Washington Post.
The message was sent from Robinson’s account to a small group of online friends Thursday night, about two hours before Robinson was taken into custody, according to the report.
Screenshots provided to the Post by a member of the group chat also confirmed Robinson had confessed to the shooting. Discord also provided a copy of the message to authorities and told the Post it is providing the FBI and local authorities information about Robinson’s online activities to help their investigation.
