U.S. President Donald Trump says police have arrested a suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk, the right-wing youth leader and top Trump ally.
|
|
In an appearance on Fox & Friends Friday morning, Mr. Trump said that a clergyman and the suspect’s father were both involved in turning the man in.
|
|
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him. In custody,” Mr. Trump said.
|
|
The President said that “a minister who was involved with law enforcement” went to a “top U.S. marshal” who is a friend of his and then the suspect’s father got involved.
|
|
“They drove into the police headquarters and he’s there now,” Mr. Trump said.
|
|
The President did not provide additional details and it was not immediately clear who the suspect is, where he was turned in or which agency currently has him in custody. The FBI and local police have not yet confirmed the arrest Mr. Trump announced.
