U.S. President Donald Trump has told Fox News that authorities have apprehended the suspect in the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. “I think we have him,” Trump said, adding that investigators were acting “with a high degree of certainty” that the man in custody is responsible for the deadly shooting.
Kirk, 31, was shot dead while speaking at Utah Valley University earlier this week, sparking outrage and a nationwide manhunt. The killing of the prominent conservative figure and close Trump ally prompted heightened security measures across political events in the U.S.
Law enforcement officials have not yet released the suspect’s identity or further details, but confirmation from Trump marks a major development in the high-profile case. Authorities are expected to brief the public once the investigation progresses.
