The suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk is reported to be in custody. President Trump made the announcement earlier this morning.

"With a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody...Everyone did a great job. We worked with the local police, the governor, everybody did a great job, you know, getting somebody that you start off with absolutely nothing," the President said on Fox & Friends.

A law enforcement official reports the suspect is a 22-year-old from Utah, and authorities have now officially identified the suspect as Tyler Robinson. Utah's governor says the assassination suspect had indicated to a family friend that he was connected to the shooting.

At a press conference on Friday morning, state and federal officials described the process that led to the capture of Robinson. Investigators discussed the discovery of the rifle in a wooded area, wrapped in a dark towel. Messages from the shooter were engraved onto bullet casings. Several of the messages include:

"Hey Fascists, Catch"
"O Bella Ciao" (an anti-fascist anthem from Italy)
"If you read this you are gay LMAO"
