Trump Confirms Charlie Kirk Shooting Suspect in Custody

US President Donald Trump announced with a high degree of certainty that the suspect in the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is in custody. Trump revealed that someone close to the suspect, identified as a minister, turned him in, and law enforcement officials worked closely with local authorities to apprehend the individual. The shooting occurred while Kirk was speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University, and authorities had previously released photos and video footage of the suspect. Although official details about the suspect had yet to be released at the time of Trump's announcement, a press conference was scheduled to provide further information. Kirk, a prominent right-wing media personality and ally of Trump, was 33 years old and had dedicated much of his life to engaging young people in conservative causes. While a formal motive has not been confirmed, some reports suggest the shooting may have been politically motivated.
