US President Donald Trump on Friday confirmed that the suspect who fatally shot conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been taken into police custody. The assailant reportedly surrendered voluntarily, with Trump noting that “someone very close to him turned him in,” including a minister, a top US marshal, and the suspect’s father. Kirk, a 31-year-old right-wing activist and close Trump ally, was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University, collapsing from a single neck wound fired from a rooftop. Trump cautioned that the situation “is subject to change.” Utah officials are scheduled to hold a press conference at 9 am ET to provide further updates on the ongoing investigation and manhunt. Charlie Kirk Assassination: FBI Releases CCTV Footage of Shooter Fleeing Crime Scene Moments After US Conservative Activist Shot Dead at Utah Valley University (Watch Video).
