Trump reveals Charlie Kirk shooting suspect is in custody
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 12, 2025 | KATELYN CARALLE

Donald Trump has revealed that the person who allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University is now in custody.

'I think with a high degree of certainty we have him in custody,' the president told Fox & Friends on Friday morning.

Sources told the Daily Mail that the suspect is Tyler Robinson, a 21-year-old man from Washington, Utah.

The shooter confessed to his father that he was the perpetrator, CNN reported.

The man's father then tipped off law enforcement and secured his son until officers arrived. Sources told CNN the individual was still being questioned as of Friday morning.

Trump said that 'somebody who was very close' to the suspect turned him in to police - referring to the tipster as the assassin's 'minister' and 'father'.

'It was a minister who was involved with law enforcement… his good friend is a top U.S. Marshal – and they took it from there,' Trump said, suggesting the suspect's father told him it was time to turn themselves in.

Law enforcement will share more details about the suspect's arrest later on Friday, the president said.

He had better have an impressive and verifiable history as a marksman with a rifle at long distances. No crackpot could have made that shot. Otherwise, we have a patsy on our hands to quell the rabble.

If he comes from a family where he confides in his father and has a minister don’t hold your breath that he is some crazed radical - probably not. And it’s too early to conclude what written on the bullets found in the gun means that the shooting is some sort of trans revenge.

Stand by for the gofundme page to be set up. And stand by for the demonstrations demanding his/her/its release.

“””He had better have an impressive and verifiable history as a marksman with a rifle at long distances. “

It wasn’t a tough shot. You would need some experience but not much.

It’s 188 meters. That’s a center mass hold. Easy shot.

The pastor was his dad. IF the kid confessing is really the assassin and not just looking for attention. I do not think the facial features match.

If that reward money is paid to the dad it needs to be withheld until after the trial......it would be absolutely obscene for those funds to go to his legal defense.

They’re saying the dad is LE and good friends with the Chief Marshall. Told the kid better to tuen himself in. And truthfully, if he wants to stay alive that’s good counsel.
