USA said in a statement, "The previously filmed season finale of Mr. Robot contains a graphic scene similar in nature to today’s tragic events in Virginia. Out of respect to the victims, their families and colleagues, and our viewers, we are postponing tonight’s episode. Our thoughts go out to all those affected during this difficult time."

We'll be updating this post with more information as it becomes available.

The episode will air one week from the scheduled date (September 2nd at 10:01 PM) source

Here are tweets from the official Mr. Robot Twitter account:

"The previously filmed season finale of Mr. Robot contains a graphic scene similar in nature to today’s tragic events in Virginia."

"Out of respect to the victims, their families and colleagues, and our viewers, we are postponing tonight’s episode."

"Our thoughts go out to all those affected during this difficult time."

It seems as though the episode will not be edited. Source
