The man suspected of murdering Charlie Kirk bragged to a co-worker about his long-range shooting abilities, The New York Post has revealed.
While working as an electrician for a Utah-based company, Tyler Robinson is alleged to have claimed he was a proficient marksman.
“Right after Black Friday, I had just got done working and I was showing my supervisor the new pistol I bought,” said the co-worker.
“We were out by the trucks, and then Tyler and another guy came over and we were all talking about what kinds of guns we were gonna get or had bought, and they started talking about their longest shots. Tyler said he made a 450 yard shot.”
“That was like the only time we got [Robinson] to conversate with us, when we were talking about guns that day,” the worker continued.
“He got excited about it—at least, as excited as he can get. He never really showed much emotion. He was just kind of, I don’t know, blank? He was just really quiet.”
The former co-worker went on to express shock that Robinson is the man alleged to have murdered Kirk.
“I was shocked when I heard the news yesterday—I was like, ‘It can’t be that Tyler’—so I called my old coworker at Wilde Electric and I was like, ‘Hey, did Tyler show up to work today?’ He was like, no, he was supposed to but maybe he’s at a different site.
“And I was like, ‘Dude, I think Tyler was the one who did the shooting.’ And he didn’t believe me,” the man said, adding that his subsequent phone call to Robinson went straight to voicemail.
“He was the last person I thought would do this. When I heard that the suspect was a young guy from St. George, there were hundreds of other people that I thought would be capable of it before him.”
Yesterday, Infowars reported that a family friend described how Robinson had become radicalised during his sophomore year at high school.
Tyler Robinson’s friend spoke anonymously to The Guardian and said Robinson was “pretty left on everything,” and was “the only member of his family that was really leftist.”
“The rest of his family was very hard Republican,” the friend added.
The friend described how Robinson had begun adopting more extreme leftist positions during his sophomore year at high school and said he would “always be ranting and arguing about them.”
The friend said he was shocked by Robinson’s arrest.
“I knew he had strong political views, but I never thought it would even go near that far.”
He described how he and Robinson had slowly fallen out of friendship by the end of high school, and said they had not spoken in years.
The friend also shed light on some of the inscriptions on shell casings found at the scene of the crime, saying that one of the inscriptions—a series of arrows—was a reference to the game Helldivers 2 and signified “calling in a big bomb that exists… called the 500 kilogram.”
Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed the inscriptions in a Friday morning press conference announcing Robinson’s arrest.
“Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read, ‘Hey, fascist! Catch!’ Up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing read, ‘Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao.’ A third unfired casing read, ‘If you read this, you are gay, LMAO.’”
A casing that had been fired carried the inscription, “Notices bulge OWO what’s this,” which is a reference to a well-known meme associated with the “furry” subculture, where individuals dress up in furry animal costumes.
Kirk, 31, was murdered at a Turning Point USA event in Utah on Wednesday. His suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, is now in custody.
Although authorities have not described a motive for the killings yet, evidence from the scene, including the shell casings, suggests a clear leftist political motivation.
It’s also been revealed Robinson had a transgender boyfriend.
