Per official records, the person accused of the attack involving conservative commentator Charlie Kirk sent a series of text messages with their housemate after the event.

Prosecutors stated that the roommate notified law enforcement that Tyler Robinson had told them to check beneath a keyboard where a message was reportedly discovered.

Authorities noted that the roommate was identifying as male and had been in a close bond with the defendant.

Below we share the entire transcript of the text exchange that occurred on the day of the incident, submitted by the roommate to authorities.

Text Message Exchange

Individual: stop what you’re doing, search below my computer keyboard.

When the roommate looked below the device, a message was found that apparently said: "I had the chance to take out the commentator and I'm going to act on it."

Roommate: "Are you serious? You're joking, correct?

Individual: I’m fine dear, but I’m trapped in orem for a little while longer. Soon enough before I return, but I need to grab my rifle though. Honestly I wanted to keep this secret till I died. I apologize to involve you.

Witness: you didn’t who committed the act right????

Accused: It was me, regrets

Witness: I believed they detained the suspect?

Individual: no, they apprehended a disturbed senior, then questioned an individual wearing alike attire. I had planned to retrieve my weapon from the hiding spot not long later, but most of the area got locked down. It’s calm, almost enough to get out, yet there is an automobile remaining.

Witness: Why?

Accused: What was my motive?

Roommate: Correct

Individual: I grew tired of the negativity. Some hate is not talked away.

Accused: Should I manage to grab my rifle without notice, there would be zero traces. Intending to effort to recover it, perhaps authorities moved on. I did not notice any information regarding its discovery.

Witness: For what duration did you organizing this?

Suspect: just more than seven days I think. I can get close the location yet there’s an official car positioned close. I believe they inspected the area, though I won’t take the chance.

Individual: I regret I had circled back and grabbed it immediately after I reached my vehicle.... I am concerned what dad could react if I didn't bring back grandpas rifle ... I don’t even know whether it had a serial number, yet it should not connect with me. I am anxious regarding fingerprints I left it in a bush after altering clothing. was without the chance or duration to take it.... I may need to leave it behind and hope they don't find evidence. how the [expletive] should I rationalize its loss to my old man....

only thing I left was the weapon wrapped in a towel....

recall when I etched bullets? Those communications are largely a big meme, were I to view specific terms in media outlets it may cause a stroke alright im gonna let it go, that really [expletive] sucks.... from the events I'd say grandpas gun performs adequately unsure. I think that was an expensive sight;-;

Individual: delete this exchange

Suspect: my dad wants pictures of the gun ... he claims grandpa is curious regarding possession, the feds published an image of the weapon, that is very unique. Dad is phoning rn, ignoring the call.

Suspect: after the election took position dad has been pretty diehard a supporter.

Accused: I will turn myself in without resistance, someone close is actually a official in the department.

Suspect: you are all I worry about dear

Housemate: I'm much more worried about your well-being

Individual: avoid speaking with journalists kindly. don't take media appearances or issue statements. ... should law enforcement question you ask for an attorney and remain quiet
