Donald Trump confirms suspect’s arrest in Charlie Kirk murder after minister dad steps in
Suspect Nabbed Thanks to Father’s Tip-Off
Donald Trump has revealed that police have arrested a suspect in the shocking assassination of conservative star Charlie Kirk. Speaking live on Fox & Friends this morning, Trump said law enforcement has a “high degree of certainty” about who is responsible.
Remarkably, the suspect’s own father — a church minister — turned his son in following the tragic shooting. “They have somebody that they think did it,” Trump said. He added he was informed of the arrest just five minutes before going on air.
Trump Awards Kirk Posthumous Medal of Freedom
In a moving tribute, Trump announced Kirk will posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom — America’s highest civilian honour. While the date for the ceremony is yet to be confirmed, Trump expressed hope for a large turnout.
“We miss him greatly. Charlie’s voice and the courage he instilled in countless people, especially young people, will live on.”
FBI Releases Chilling CCTV of Suspected Sniper
The FBI has launched a full-scale manhunt after releasing chilling CCTV footage showing the suspected sniper fleeing the scene at a university in Utah. Authorities found a high-powered bolt-action rifle nearby, believed to be the murder weapon.
Kirk, a high-profile conservative and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was gunned down while addressing students. He died shortly after hospitalisation, sparking national outrage and urgent calls to clamp down on political violence.
