Mother of suspected shooter identified him to police
The mother of Tyler Robinson identified him through photos released by authorities, prosecutors said.
"As law enforcement continued their investigation, Tyler James Robinson went to the Washington County sheriff’s office with his parents and a family friend to turn himself in," Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said.
Robinson’s mother saw the photo of the shooter in the news and thought the shooter looked like her son, authorities said.
"Robinson’s mother called her son, and asked him where he was. He said he was at home sick and that he had also been at home home sick on Sept. 10," Gray said. "Robinson’s mother expressed concern to her husband that the suspect shooter looked like Robinson. Robinson’s father agreed.”
