US President Donald Trump announced Friday that a suspect in the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah university has been apprehended, capping a protracted manhunt that Trump called a “heinous assassination.”
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed by a sniper at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem on Wednesday. His killer had been evading police and federal officials for over twenty-four hours.
In an appearance with the “Fox and Friends” program, Trump stated, “I think we have him,” and added that the suspect had been turned in by someone who knows him. “I think with a high degree of certainty we have him in custody.”
