The young man suspected of shooting conservative influencer Charlie Kirk is said to have acknowledged his act himself on Discord, hours before his arrest.
Tyler Robinson, a suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk, reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack on the American conservative influencer in a small discussion group on the online platform Discord, reports the Washington Post.
In a series of messages addressed to a restricted circle, Robinson wrote that he had “bad news” and that he was “at UVU yesterday”. The acronym refers to Utah Valley University, the campus where Charlie Kirk was shot.
According to the American daily, which claims to have consulted screenshots of the exchanges, Robinson sent these messages around two hours before his arrest.
The 22-year-old was arrested on Thursday, almost a day and a half after the shooting at the University of Utah. He is expected to be formally charged later this week.
