As the world now knows, Conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk was fatally shot by a sniper during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. After a two-day manhunt, President Trump announced earlier today on Fox & Friends Friday that authorities have the suspect in custody “with a high degree of certainty.”
The individual reportedly confessed to his father, who held him until police arrived. FBI-released video shows the gunman fleeing a rooftop into woods, prompting a $100,000 reward. The agency delayed a press conference amid the breakthrough, as social media buzzes with demands for swift justice. Kirk’s death has sparked national outrage over political violence. (98 words)
