""With a high degree of certainty, we have him," Trump announced in a live interview on Fox News Chanel on Friday morning. Trump said a minister who is also involved with law enforcement turned in the suspect to authorities. "Somebody that was very close to him said, 'Hmm, that's him,'" Trump said. Kirk was killed by a single shot Wednesday in what police said was a targeted attack and Utah's governor called a political assassination."
"Authorities recovered a high-powered, bolt-action rifle near the scene and had said the shooter jumped off a roof and vanished into the woods after the shooting. Kirk was speaking at a debate hosted by Turning Point at Utah Valley University at the time of the shooting. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead hours later. Federal investigators and state officials on Thursday had released photos and a video of the person they believe is responsible."
"The attack, carried out in broad daylight as Kirk spoke about social issues, was captured on grisly videos that spread on social media. The videos show Kirk, who played an influential role in rallying young Republican voters, speaking into a handheld microphone when suddenly a shot rings out. Kirk reaches up with his right hand as blood gushes from the left side of his neck. Stunned spectators gasp and scream before people star"
President Donald Trump said the suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing has been captured with a high degree of certainty and that a minister involved with law enforcement turned the suspect in after recognizing him. Charlie Kirk was killed by a single shot during a Turning Point debate at Utah Valley University; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead hours later. Authorities recovered a high-powered bolt-action rifle, said the shooter jumped off a roof and vanished into nearby woods, and released photos and a video while receiving more than 7,000 tips without publicly naming a suspect or citing a motive.
