President Trump has just announced on Fox News that the suspected gunman who shot the right wing activist Charlie Kirk killing has been caught. Trump said, quote “I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him, in custody.” Trump’s comment came a day after the FBI announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Officials released images showing someone appearing to be a college-aged white man in a baseball cap, dark sunglasses and a long-sleeved shirt with a U.S. flag and eagle printed on it. Investigators also released surveillance footage showing a suspect running across a rooftop and jumping over the edge before entering a wooded area. Utah’s Republican Governor Spencer Cox vowed to catch Kirk’s killer and said the state will seek the death penalty.
