They have since walked back that reporting based on the source's possibly poor memory.
The online left have simply decided the murderer is a conservative 'Groyper', based on no hard evidence at all.
If this new report turns out to be accurate, it could shed new light on Robinson's motives. (See the update below.)

Charlie replied: “Too many.”
He was then asked: “do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America…
Only time will tell if this reporting holds up as the story unfolds, but the same report is now being echoed by many news outlets.
Obviously fog of war, grain of salt, but this is the team I used to work with and they’re really stellar. The bar is high for them to publish an anonymous source. https://t.co/lfuNQmtsDy
