President Trump revealed Friday morning on “Fox & Friends” that the person of interest in the Charlie Kirk assassination has been taken into custody.
Trump said he learned of the arrest just minutes before going on air and expressed confidence “with a high degree of certainty” that the possible shooter is now apprehended.
He explained that the man was turned in with the help of a minister, a U.S. Marshal, and the suspect’s father. Trump praised everyone involved in the manhunt, noting the difficulty of tracking the individual, which began with “absolutely nothing.”
TMZ had previously obtained footage showing the person of interest walking down a residential street in Orem, Utah, shortly before Kirk was shot during an event at Utah Valley University. About six minutes after the shooting, someone dressed in black was seen fleeing through a backyard.
