New development in Charlie Kirk assassination! Trump: We have taken them into custody

US President Donald Trump announced in a live television program that the suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated, had been caught.

Speaking to the US-based Fox News channel, Trump said, "It's very likely we've taken (the person who killed Kirk) into custody. Everyone did a great job."

"Someone very close to him reported him," Trump said.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Kirk, an activist and social media phenomenon known for his strong support for President Donald Trump in the US state of Utah and particularly popular among young people, was attacked with a gun at an event he attended at Utah Valley University on the afternoon of September 10, local time.

Kirk was targeted by a bullet from an unknown source while giving a speech in an open area.

Trump announced Kirk's death in a statement on the US-based Truth Social account shortly after the attack.

Some reports in the US media claimed that a suspect had been detained, but it was soon announced that this person was not the suspect of the attack.
