Suspect in activist Charlie Kirk's shooting caught and identified

OREM, Utah - A suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah university has been taken into custody, US President Donald Trump and law enforcement officials said on Sept. 12, ending an intense hunt that followed what Mr. Trump described as a "heinous assassination."

Mr. Kirk's killer had eluded police and federal agents for more than 24 hours after the Sept. 10 shooting, in which a sniper fired a single gunshot that killed Mr. Kirk during an appearance at Utah Valley University in Orem.

"I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him," Mr. Trump said in a surprise announcement during a live interview with Fox News. "He's in custody."

Utah Governor Spencer Cox identified the suspect in a news conference as Tyler Robinson from Utah. News reports had pegged his age at 22.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had circulated grainy images apparently taken from security cameras showing a "person of interest" wearing a black top, black sunglasses and a dark baseball cap.

The top appears to have been emblazoned with an image of a bald eagle flying across a US flag.
