Trump says 'with a high degree of certainty' that suspect in Charlie Kirk killing has been caught

US President Donald Trump said Friday that the suspect who killed Charlie Kirk has been taken into police custody.“I think with a high degree of certainty we have him in custody,” Trump told Fox News. “Someone very close to him turned him in.”Charlie Kirk, a right-wing activist and close Trump ally, was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. The 31-year-old collapsed from a neck wound after a single shot was fired from a rooftop. Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz said Kirk had been answering a question on “transgender shooters, mass shooters,” when the shot rang out.Authorities said that the shooter used a bolt-action rifle from 200 yards away before fleeing. The FBI released images of a young male suspect and offered a $100,000 reward. Trump and others have condemned the killing. He said Kirk was “an advocate of nonviolence” and announced he would award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Vice President JD Vance helped escort Kirk’s body to Phoenix aboard Air Force Two.
