Tyler Robinson, accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk, told a former roommate he “wished he hadn’t done it” shortly after the incident. Lance Twiggs shared this detail in a recorded interview with prosecutors, stating he saw Robinson the day following the shooting and that Robinson expressed regret and planned to turn himself in. Prosecutors released details of Twiggs's interview as part of the ongoing case.
The statement of regret was reported by CBS News, Deutsche Welle, The Federalist, and the South China Morning Post. While reports vary slightly in phrasing – with some specifying “regretted” the act – all sources confirm Robinson’s expression of remorse to Twiggs. The Federalist highlighted that Twiggs identified himself as Robinson's "trans lover," a detail not reported by other outlets.
Twiggs indicated Robinson planned to surrender to authorities after expressing his regret, though details regarding whether he followed through with this plan were not provided in the available reports. No information was released regarding a potential motive for the shooting. The case remains ongoing as prosecutors continue to build their case against Robinson.
No right-leaning outlets beyond The Federalist reported on this development, leaving coverage largely concentrated within center and left-leaning sources.
