United States President Donald Trump has said that “with a high degree of certainty” the gunman in the killing of right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk has been caught. The shooting was an act of violence that has reverberated across the US and underscored deep and toxic political divisions.
Several US media, including the Associated Press and the New York Post, reported that the suspect is a 22-year-old man from Utah. Investigators were due to hold a briefing later on Friday to provide details on the case.
