Suspect of Charlie Kirk’s shooting to admit to discord, say sources of CBS

The alleged right -wing killer Charlie Kirk seems to have taken responsibility for the shooting on the Discord Message Platform, a spokesman for the company confirmed.

According to spokesman Tyler Robinson, 22, he sent friends to chat in discord hours before he was arrested last week in connection with Kirk’s shooting at an event at the University of Utah Valley.

“Yesterday I was at UVU. I’m sorry for all this,” reads a message from Robinson, according to the speaker and the source of law enforcement.

Robinson, who has not yet been officially charged, must appear in court on Tuesday.

Arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder, firearms crime, and obstruction of justice, he may face the death penalty.

Discord reports, which are said to be Robinson, were first reported by The Washington Post and is thought to have been written and published at the end of Kirk’s killer, which lasted more than a day.

A spokesman said an internal investigation had not found “no evidence that the suspect had planned this incident or promoted violence against discord.”

On Tuesday, FBI Director Kash Patel told a hearing in the congress that investigators would question Discord Group chat members with Robinson.

He said they would talk to “everyone and everyone involved in this unhappy chat” and that every leader will expire.

Asked if there are about 20 discord users in chat, Patel said it was “much more”.

The 31 -year -old Kirk spoke at the University of Utah Valley on Wednesday at an outdoor event conducted by Turning Point USA – the organization that he co -founded – when he was hit by a bullet from a bullet.

The murder of right -wing activist and influential caused outrage, with Democrats and Republicans blaming each other for distributing hateful rhetoric and hunting for his killer. Utah Governor Spencer Cox said Robinson was arrested after admitting Kirk’s murder in front of his father and convinced himself to surrender.

Law enforcement sources have told CBS News that Robinson and his friends have broken up for the shooting before his arrest in a group chat of discord involving more than 20 people.

Robinson is said to have been questioned in the group whether he was the weapon he does not appear to be rejected, and there were also jokes from a group member for him, who should avoid McDonald’s where he is where he is where he is there Luigi Magyone, the alleged murderer of the UNITEDHEATHALCARE CEO Brian ThompsonHe was arrested.

Account messages that are thought to belong to Robinson also show that he plans to convey himself.

“I give a friend to the sheriff after a few moments, thank you for all the good times and laughs, you were all so amazing, thank you all for everything,” says one.

Cox said Robinson did not cooperate with the authorities, but his roommate is among those who have been.

FBI Director Kash Patel, who was criticized for his work on the case, told Fox News in an interview on Monday that a text messaging was found on Robinson’s phone, in which he “specifically stated that he had to take out Charlie Kirk and he would do it.”

Investigators are trying to establish a motive for the murder.

Earlier, Cox said Robinson, a native of Utah, was “deeply indoctrinated with left -wing ideology.” The public records reviewed by the BBC suggest that Robinson in the past has been registered as an unconsent or non -party voter in Utah. His parents are registered Republicans, according to state records.

According to Cox, however, a family member told investigators that Robinson had become “more political” in recent years and specifically mentioned the upcoming visit of Kirk to the University of the Utah Valley during dinner.

One of the senior officials of Donald Trump, the deputy head of the headquarters Stephen Miller, claims that there was an organized campaign behind the murder, but so far no evidence has been presented that suggest that Robinson has worked as part of a group.

He spoke in the podcast of Kirk, the show of Charlie Kirk, which was Guest-Went by his friend, Vice President JD VanceIn an episode that aired on Monday.

Investigators are also browsing social media accounts used by Robinson, according to CBS and any signs that someone may have known or encouraged in advance.

Kirk, a pious Christian, was a strong supporter of weapons rights, cruelly opposed abortion, was critical of transgender and gay rights, and promoted false claims about Covid-19.

His supporters said he was relaxing, understood their concerns, and was able to hold good debate with those he disagreed with.

But his views caused fierce liberal criticism, with his offenders calling his comments deeply offensive to some minority groups, including LGBT people and Muslims.

The Turning Point USA, which Kirk is a co -founder, aims to distribute conservative ideals to liberal US colleges and played a key role in making people vote for Trump and other republican candidates last year.
