The FBI has detailed chilling messages the suspect arrested for the murder of Charlie Kirk sent to his roommate after the attack in Utah earlier this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right-wing activist Kirk\u00a0was killed\u00a0while speaking at an event organized by his company, Turning Point USA, on Wednesday (September 10) at Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n

Authorities appealed for help\u00a0in identifying the shooter after a suspect was seen on a rooftop of a building on the college campus.<\/p>\n

And in a press conference on Friday (September 12), the FBI confirmed they had detained a suspect\u00a0identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.<\/p>\n

Utah\u00a0Governor Spencer Cox began by telling audiences: “We got him,” before later going on to detail chilling messages sent from the suspect to a roommate on the messaging service Discord.<\/p>\n

Cox said investigators spoke with Robinson’s roommates, who showed them messages between him and an account with the name ‘Tyler’.<\/p>\n

Messages from ‘Tyler’ stated the need to gather a rifle from a drop off point, before leaving it in a bush and wrapping it in a towel before leaving the scene.<\/p>\n

The governor went on to say other messages mentioned the rifle being ‘unique’, as well as discussion about engraving bullets and a scope.<\/p>\n

Cox also confirmed ‘Tyler’ spoke about having to change his outfits in the Discord messages.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the press conference, Cox detailed\u00a0what lead to Robinson’s arrest, stating officials received a tip which stemmed from a family member of Robinson, who had reached out to a family friend who then contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

The governor explained that ‘Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident’.<\/p>\n

A family member of Robinson was also interviewed by investigators, who claimed that the suspect had become ‘more political’ in recent years.<\/p>\n

They recalled one particular incident which took place before the September 10 shooting, when Robinson had joined the family member for dinner and engaged in a conversation in which Robinson mentioned Kirk was due to come to Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n

“They talked about why he didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” Cox said.<\/p>\n

Cox expressed his thanks to law enforcement, the FBI and members of the public for helping with the investigation, and praised Robinson’s family for having done ‘the right thing’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
