“Too much evil” in Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson told his parents

Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray revealed that Tyler Robinson, who is accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah university, suggested in conversations with his parents that he was the shooter.

Gray said that Robinson’s mother expressed concern to her husband after seeing the photos released by police of the suspect after the shooting. She said the suspect looked like their son, and her husband agreed, said Gray. The parents also believed the rifle that police suspected the shooter used matched a rifle that was given to their son as a gift, he added.

“As a result, Robinson’s father contacted his son and asked him to send a photo of the rifle. Robinson did not respond. However, Robinson’s father spoke on the phone with Robinson. Robinson implied that he planned to take his own life. Robinson’s parents were able to convince him to meet at their home as they discussed the situation,” Gray said.

He said when Robinson was asked by his parents why he did it, Robinson replied, “there is too much evil in the guy,” referring to Kirk.

Robinson was charged on Tuesday with aggravated murder and Utah is seeking the death penalty. He will remain held without bail at the Utah County Jail.
