‘It was me’: Tyler Robinson reportedly made stunning assassination admission to social media followers
The suspect in the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who died after being shot at a free speech event in Utah last week, went to social media afterward and told his friends: “Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this.”
The apparently confession came from suspect Tyler Robinson, who was arrested shortly after posting the statement.
The message came from an account belonging to Robinson and was on Discord.
A report posted at PJMedia explained it was in that statement Robinson “reportedly admitted his involvement in the murder.”
The report comes even as law enforcement officials continue their investigation of the facts of Kirk’s death, and Robinson’s alleged involvement, an investigation with which Robinson apparently is not cooperating.

“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 report said.
Authorities then were able to obtain a copy of the message from Discord, a source explained.
The message from Robinson’s account went to “a small private group of online friends,” the report said.
Apparently Discord also is working with the FBI and other police investigators, following its initial claim that its own review discovered “no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord.”
The report described Robinson as having been “radicalized in his political views over recent years.”
“By the time of the shooting, Robinson seemed entrenched in a hostile mindset toward Kirk and conservatives more broadly,” the report explained.

It explained that other Discord users had commented on the assassination, with one commenting: “Bro didn’t deserve to go out like that sad.”
Then Robinson added, “im surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few moments. … thanks for all the good times and laughs, you’ve all been so amazing, thank you all for everything.”
Authorities also have confirmed that were are a number of individuals in Robinson’s online circle who may have had information about a coming tragedy – and likely did nothing to prevent it, and they now are being investigated.
