'I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody,' US president says in TV interview
US President Donald Trump said Friday that he believes "with a high degree of certainty" that authorities have apprehended the suspect behind the fatal shooting of right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk.
"I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody," Trump said during an interview with broadcaster Fox News. "Everyone did a great job.
Kirk, 31, was fatally shot Wednesday while addressing a group of students at Utah Valley University in the city of Orem, some 40 miles (64.4 kilometers) south of Salt Lake City. The apparent targeted attack occurred despite security, including six university police officers and Kirk's private team.
Online videos captured the moment a bullet struck Kirk as he spoke, sending students fleeing in panic. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead hours later.
