The 22-year-old Utah resident admitted to the shooting in a group chat with his friends, The Washington Post reported on Monday, citing two people familiar with the chat.
“Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. I’m sorry for all of this,” a message from Mr Robinson reads, per the Washington Post.
