Robinson’s partner, with whom he shared an apartment, shared their text messages with police, according to charging documents released by Utah County officials. Discord has said its investigation found no evidence the suspect promoted violence or planned the attack on its platform. Robinson’s father eventually convinced him to speak to a family friend, a retired deputy sheriff. In alleged text messages to his partner, Robinson had discussed leaving the weapon wrapped in a towel and said he hoped to recover it after the shooting. When police released images of the weapon, Robinson’s father texted his son, asking for a picture of the gun, according to the charging document.
