At a joint press conference between Utah law enforcement, the Utah Governor, and the FBI, Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed the messages found on the shooter’s bullet casings. Take a look: Charlie Kirk’s shooter’s bullet casings had the following messages engraved: “*notices bulge* OWO what’s this?”“Hey Fascist! Catch!”“Bella Ciao”“If you read this, you are gay lmao” pic.twitter.com/KX6rZXIZdm — Megatron (@Megatron_ron) September 12, 2025 There were actually more than just those. Watch the full remarks right here: My God Who radicalized this kid pic.twitter.com/U8RM5AILK8 — Karli Bonne’ (@KarluskaP) September 12, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: Got him. On the evening of September 11th, a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident. This information was relayed to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office and scene investigators at Utah Valley University. This information was also conveyed to the FBI. Investigators reviewed additional video footage from UVU surveillance and identified Robinson arriving on UVU campus in a gray Dodge Challenger at approximately 8:29 AM on September 10th, in which he is observed on video in a plain maroon t-shirt, light-colored shorts, a black hat with a white logo, and light-colored shoes. When encountered in person by investigators in Washington County on September 12th in the early morning hours, Robinson was observed in consistent clothing with those surveillance images. Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years. The family member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to September 10th, and in the conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had. The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate. The family member also confirmed Robinson had a gray Dodge Challenger. Investigators identified an individual as the roommate of Robinson. Investigators interviewed that roommate who stated that his roommate, referring to Robinson, made a joke on Discord. Investigators asked if he would show them the messages on Discord. He opened it and showed several messages to investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the screen as each message was shown by Robinson’s roommate. These photos consisted of various messages, including content of messages between the phone contact named Tyler with an emoji icon and Robinson’s roommate’s device. The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact Tyler stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel. The messages also refer to engraving bullets and a mention of a scope and the rifle being unique. Messages from the contact Tyler also mentioned that he had changed outfits. I know there has been speculation as well as to the writing on those casings, those bullet casings, and I believe we have that as well. And I will share that with you now. So the area north of Campus Drive Road where the suspect crossed over, you saw some of that in the video that we released last night, consists of a grassy area with trees on the edge of the UVU campus. Investigators discovered a bolt-action rifle wrapped in a dark-colored towel. The rifle was determined to be a Mauser model 98 30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle. The rifle had a scope mounted on top of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions on a fired casing read, “Notices, bulges,” capital O-W-O, “WHAT’S THIS?” Inscriptions on the 3 unfired casings read, “Hey, fascist!” “Catch!” Up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and 3 down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing read, “Oh, bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao.” And a third unfired casing read, “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.” Backup here if needed: WATCH: Utah Governor Spencer Cox reveals messages found on shooter’s gun casings pic.twitter.com/HKjk28KHG6 — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) September 12, 2025
