In a high-profile televised appearance on Fox & Friends, former President Donald Trump confirmed that a suspect has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Speaking directly to the hosts, Trump stated, “With a high degree of certainty, we’ve got him in custody.” The announcement follows a nationwide manhunt that began after Kirk was fatally shot on September 10 during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University. According to early reports, the suspect, later identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah, was apprehended after a tip-off from someone close to him. Authorities say a high-powered bolt-action rifle believed to be used in the attack was recovered during the investigation. While Trump did not release further details about the arrest during the interview, federal officials have since confirmed that DNA evidence found at the scene matched the suspect. The motive remains under investigation, though sources suggest the suspect may have held increasingly extreme political views. The arrest marks a significant development in a case that has shocked political and media circles across the nation.
