   Just hours before Tyler Robinson was arrested for allegedly killing   
   conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the 22-year-old appeared to take   
   responsibility for the shooting in a message to friends on the chat   
   platform Discord, a company spokesperson confirmed to CBS News on Monday.   
      
   "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."   
      
   The messages were first reported by The Washington Post.   
      
   The messages came toward the end of a nearly two-day-long manhunt after   
   Kirk was fatally shot during an outdoor event at Utah Valley University on   
   Wednesday. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Robinson confessed to his father.   
   Robinson was taken into custody late Thursday night, FBI Director Kash   
   Patel said Friday.   
      
   Over the preceding day, Patel ordered the release of half a dozen   
   surveillance photos of the suspected shooter and asked the public for help   
   solving the case, which drew nationwide attention and sparked new worries   
   about the specter of political violence.   
      
   While the FBI looked for leads, according to two law enforcement sources,   
   Robinson and his friends bantered about the shooting in a more than 20-   
   person group on Discord. The platform is popular among gamers. The Discord   
   spokesperson said an internal investigation by the company found "no   
   evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on   
   Discord."   
      
   At least three friends asked Robinson if he was the shooter, saying the   
   photos released by the FBI looked like him, the law enforcement sources   
   said. He did not seem to refute it.   
      
   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 rifle and a fake   
   ID late last year.   
      
   "Whatever you do don't go to a mcdonalds anytime soon," the friend wrote,   
   according to the law enforcement sources.   
      
   The account appearing to belong to Robinson responded: "Better also get   
   rid of this manifesto and exact copy rifle I have lying around."   
      
   Before the arrest, messages from the account belonging to Robinson   
   appeared to suggest he planned to turn himself in to authorities, the   
   Discord spokesperson confirmed.   
      
   One message read, "im surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few   
   moments, thanks for all the good times and laughs, you've all been so   
   amazing, thank you all for everything."   
      
   Robinson was later taken into custody on aggravated murder, obstruction   
   and firearm charges.  Cox says the state will seek the death penalty.   
   Robinson could make his first court appearance Tuesday afternoon, after   
   officials file formal charges, Christopher Ballard, chief of staff for the   
   Utah County Attorney's Office, has said.   
      
   Law enforcement sources told CBS News that he was arrested after   
   Robinson's father saw the FBI's images and confronted his son. Robinson   
   admitted to being the person in the photos, but when his father encouraged   
   him to turn himself in, Robinson said he would rather die by suicide, the   
   sources said. His father then called a youth pastor to help calm Robinson   
   down — but the pastor, a court security officer, also called the U.S.   
   Marshals Service.
