Trump reveals Charlie Kirk shooting suspect is in custody

News · September 12, 2025 · Comments off

Donald Trump has revealed that the person who allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk is in custody.

‘I think with a high degree of certainty we have him in custody,’ the president told Fox & Friends on Friday morning.

Trump said that ‘somebody who was very close’ to the suspect turned him in to police.

Law enforcement will share more details about the suspect’s arrest later on Friday.

Neither the FBI nor the Utah Department of Public Safety have confirmed Trump’s announcement.

His in-studio appearance is rare and comes just two days after the conservative luminary was gunned down during an event on a college campus in Utah.

While Trump said he didn’t want to get ahead of his Justice Department and FBI, he shared a few details that he knows about how they tracked down the suspected shooter.

‘It was a minister who was involved with law enforcement… his good friend is a top U.S. Marshal – and they took it from there,’ Trump said, suggesting that the suspect’s father told him it was time to turn themselves in.

The president traveled to his longtime home of New York City on Thursday for the September 11 Yankees’ remembrance game. He stayed overnight and went in studio for his interview with Fox & Friends.

The apparent arrest comes after officials said hours earlier they had ‘no idea’ where the shooter was and shared new surveillance footage capturing the suspect moments after the attack.

The video shows the shooter running across the roof of the Lossee Center at Utah Valley University and jumping to the ground, before fleeing the scene moments after the shooting.

Officials said the shooter left behind a palm print and a shoe print from a pair of Converse sneakers.

The suspect is then believed to have fled to a nearby residential neighborhood.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance and wife Usha canceled their plan to go to New York City for Ground Zero services on Thursday.

Instead they rushed to Salt Lake City, Utah where they carried Kirk’s casket along with his wife, two kids, parents and close friends aboard Air Force Two back to his home state of Arizona.

The FBI Salt Lake City field office released video and images of the suspected shooter on Thursday.

The Bureau also set up a webpage for updates that offered a $100,000 reward for those with information leading to the identification and arrest of those responsible for Kirk’s murder.

My MIL PUSHED MY MOM INTO THE MUD on my wedding! The wedding ceremony Ben and I planned was supposed to be by a lake. My mom Donna spent months helping me plan. She’s the kindest person you could ever meet and people liked her. That was apparently enough to make my MIL, Karen, furious. Karen is one of those women who treats attention like oxygen — and if someone else gets it, she suffocates. From the beginning of the wedding day, Karen made snide comments. Also, she came to my wedding IN WHITE. I just ignored her. Later, the photographer lined everyone up to take pictures by the lake. My mom stood next to me, fixing my veil. It was such a sweet moment. Then, out of nowhere, Karen let out this fake laugh and said, “Oh, careful, Donna, your heel’s sinking into the mud!” My mom looked down — and that’s when Karen SHOVED HER. My mom lost her balance and went straight down into the mud. Her light blue dress was splattered brown. People gasped. Karen just stood there with a smug smile and said, “Oh my God! DONNA, YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL! It’s not my fault that you’re CLUMSY!” Ben ran forward to help my mom up. She tried to laugh it off, but her voice was trembling. I… just stood there horrified. All I could think of was Karen had done it ON PURPOSE. Ben’s dad, Tom, walked over slowly. He’s usually a man who NEVER raises his voice. But in that moment, something in his expression changed. He looked at my mom, covered in mud, then at Karen, and then said, low and steady, “Everyone, please take a look at Karen.” ⬇️

My Ex-Husband Took the House, the Car, and All Our Money in the Divorce — He Never Saw the Twist That Was Waiting for Him === When the judge’s gavel struck, finalizing our divorce, James leaned back in his chair like a man who had just conquered a kingdom. His smirk was so wide I thought it might split his face. He glanced at me briefly, only to let his eyes sweep smugly across the stack of signed papers. In his mind, he had won. And by all appearances, he had. The settlement gave him everything—the house, the car, our savings, even the furniture we’d picked out together in those early years when I still believed marriage was about love. James got it all, while I sat there looking like the defeated, penniless ex-wife he probably imagined I’d become. But as I gathered my bag and walked out of the courtroom, I laughed. A low, genuine laugh that made the bailiff glance at me like I’d lost my mind. The truth was, I hadn’t lost anything. In fact, everything had played out exactly as I wanted. Because James didn’t realize that what he thought was his victory was actually the first step into his downfall. I met James ten years ago when I was still fresh-faced and naïve, working as an assistant at a small advertising firm. He wasn’t rich then, but he talked like he was. Every conversation circled back to the things he would own one day: the luxury car, the big house with columns at the front, the vacations where people would look at him with envy. At first, I mistook his ambition for drive. I told myself I admired his determination, that he was just a man with goals. I ignored the fact that he never talked about love, family, or building something meaningful with a partner. He wanted things, not people. And I convinced myself I could be the one to add depth to his shallow dreams. Our early years were filled with constant striving. He worked long hours chasing promotions, and I supported him the best I could. But instead of saving for a future, James spent every raise and bonus on appearances—designer suits, flashy watches, dinners at restaurants we could barely afford. Everything was for show. By year five, I knew exactly who he was. My husband measured his worth by what he owned, and if he couldn’t show it off, it wasn’t worth having. He pressured me to play along too, insisting I carry expensive handbags, wear jewelry I didn’t even like, and dress as though we lived in glossy magazine spreads. Love became secondary to his obsession with appearances. Eventually, it stopped existing altogether. But there was one thing James never paid attention to: my mother. When we got married, we didn’t have enough for a down payment on the kind of house James insisted we needed. My mother stepped in, quietly offering the money so we could move into a beautiful home in a prestigious neighborhood. The only condition was simple—she wanted to live with us. At the time, James agreed easily. He needed her money to secure the house, and he brushed off the condition as something that wouldn’t affect him much. “She’s quiet,” he told me. “She can stay out of the way. As long as I get the house, I don’t care.” And true to form, he forgot about it almost immediately. My mother moved into the downstairs suite, and for years she lived there quietly, cooking her meals, tending the garden, and keeping mostly to herself. James hardly spoke to her, treating her more like part of the furniture than a person. But I never forgot. And neither did she. The marriage worsened as the years dragged on. James’s greed grew insatiable. He bought a second car, then a third, even when we didn’t need them. He hosted parties just to parade his possessions in front of coworkers, desperate for their admiration. He never cared about whether I was happy; he only cared about whether I looked like the perfect accessory. I tried to leave twice before. The first time, he promised things would change. The second, he threatened to make my life miserable if I dared to walk away. I stayed, but in my heart, I began planning. I realized something important: James could never walk away from material wealth. He didn’t care about me, but he cared about appearances. If I fought him in court for the house, the cars, or the money, he’d drag the divorce out endlessly. He’d bankrupt us both just to “win.” So I decided to let him have it all. Every last thing. Because what James didn’t know was that none of it truly belonged to him. In the months leading up to the divorce, I played the part of the submissive, tired wife. I stopped arguing about his purchases. I let him believe he was smarter, stronger, richer. And when I told him I wanted out, he jumped at the chance to make himself look victorious. During negotiations,… (continue reading in the 1st comment)
