"His mother is a social worker at a non-profit healthcare company, and he has two brothers. He attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021, the school confirmed, but it is not immediately clear why he left the college. In a video posted by his mother on Facebook, Mr Robinson can be seen reading aloud from a letter offering him a four-year scholarship from Utah State University as she cheered."
"Mr Robinson had registered to vote with no party affiliation, and had not cast a ballot in the two most recent elections. His mother's Facebook posts over the years - most of which were deleted on Friday - mostly doted on her family, documenting trips, special occasions and school plays. None of the posts appeared political in any way. Some posts show Mr Robinson and his brothers with guns, though that is not uncommon in a state with permissive firearms laws."
"A family member told investigators that Mr Robinson "had become more political in recent years", Utah governor Spencer Cox said at a press conference yesterday morning. Mr Cox said the family member recalled a recent incident in which Mr Robinson mentioned Mr Kirk was coming to Utah Valley University, and talked about why he "didn't like him and the viewpoints he had"."
He has two brothers and briefly attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021. A Facebook video shows him reading a four-year scholarship offer, and another post noted a 34 ACT score. He registered to vote with no party affiliation and did not vote in the last two elections. His mother's Facebook posts mainly documented family life and were not overtly political. Family members said he became more political in recent years and criticized a visiting speaker. Anti-fascist messages were engraved on ammunition found with a rifle near the shooting site. He was living at the family home in southwest Utah at the time of arrest.
