On Monday, reports came that the assassin of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, admitted his guilt to his friends on Discord 2 hours before turning himself in. 

Robinson was arrested last week on the suspicion of shooting conservative leader Charlie Kirk, while he was doing one of his patented open debate sessions on the campus of Utah Valley University. 

“Hey guys, I have bad news for you all,” read a message from an account that allegedly belonged to Robinson, according to the spokesperson and a law enforcement source. “It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this.” This was one of the last messages posted to the Discord forum before he turned himself in. First reported by the Washington Post.

The app, Discord, is a popular social platform for video game players. It has recently come under the scrutiny of a federal investigation on the murder of Charlie Kirk, in relation to the killer, Tyler Robinson. 

A discord spokesman told Fox Digital they reported “no evidence” about the shooting on their platform. “During our investigation, Discord identified an account belonging to the suspect. We have not found or received any evidence that the suspect planned this incident on Discord or promoted violence on Discord.” said the Spokesman.

In one exchange, the sources said a friend appeared to tease Robinson by quipping that he should avoid McDonald’s — where accused UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione was caught with a manifesto, a gun and a fake ID late last year, according to CBS
