U.S. President Donald Trump says “with a high degree of certainty” that the man suspected of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk is in police custody.

Trump made the announcement during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

“I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody,” the U.S. President declared. “They’re going to announce it today.”

Trump said it’s believed a pastor who knew the suspect well aided authorities, leading to his arrest. The president also said that this connection ultimately led to the alleged killer’s father getting involved.

“Somebody that was very close to him said, ‘Hmm, that’s him,'” Trump said.
