Donald Trump Confirms Suspect In Charlie Kirk Assassination Is In Custody
The hunt for Charlie Kirk’s killer may be coming to an end. President Donald Trump stated that the suspect in the Charlie Kirk murder is in custody during an interview on Fox & Friends on Friday morning.
It’s possible that the manhunt for the murderer of Kirk, the political activist who was shot dead at a Utah Valley University event, has been solved. Following the shooting, President Donald Trump made the following announcement:
“To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror,” Trump said.
“Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He’s a martyr for truth and freedom, and there’s never been anyone who was so respected by youth.”
“Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith, and we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in heaven. Our prayers are with his wife, Erika, their two young beloved children, and his entire family, who he loved more than anything in the world. We ask God to watch over them in this terrible hour of heartache and pain.”
Charlie Kirk suspect in custody, Donald Trump says
The President of the United States added that they would “find each and everyone” who has been involved, “including the organizations that fund it and support it.”
“Today, because of this heinous act, Charlie’s voice has become bigger and grander than ever before—and it’s not even close,” Trump concluded.
“May God bless his memory. May God watch over his family. And may God bless the United States of America. Thank you. “
The FBI made public images of the potential shooter and a video of someone jumping off a roof and running away from the scene on Thursday. A $100,000 reward was offered by the FBI for information that would help identify and apprehend the shooter who shot Kirk. Near the scene, a weapon had also been discovered.
Now, the manhunt might be over. While appearing on Fox & Friends on Friday morning, Trump said he “thinks with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody.”
“They drove into the police headquarters”
The POTUS added “someone very close” to the suspect turned him in.” The “person” was a “person of faith, a minister.” Further, he said “namely his father,” got involved and said “we’ve got to go in.”
“They drove into the police headquarters, and he’s there now,” Trump said on Fox and Friends.
The president acknowledged that he could need to be corrected, but he said that his statements were “based on what I’m hearing.”
