We begin with a major development in the Charlie Kirk shooting. I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him. That's Donald Trump breaking the news during an interview with Fox News this morning. The president says the suspect is in police

custody. Essentially somebody that was very close to him turned him in. Somebody that Sloss recognizes even a little tilt of the head, which nobody else would do. And somebody that was very close to him said, hmm, that's him. And essentially went to the father. The father convinced the son. This is it. And again, I'm always subject to be corrected. But I'm just given you based on what I'm hearing. Trump says a pastor who is also involved in law enforcement help with the capture and expects that the individual will be found guilty. and that he hopes he gets the death penalty. FBI officials and Utah officials are expected to give their own update later this hour. Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack against multiple

It's in this crazy limbo where a lot of it isn't protected, yet it's also not logged. The area set to be logged is on Pachydat territory, and the nation wants the protesters out, something five other nearby First Nations support. That includes the Huit. They own a 35 percent stake in the logging company, Sawhakan Forestry.

Michelle Corfield speaks for the group of First Nations. The Pachydot have asked the protesters to leave, and they've chosen to disrespect the decisions of Pachydot by staying.

They will be eligible to sign with a team as soon as October 15th and several teams are reportedly already showing interest. Karen Paul's reports. Rebout and what a save by Carter Hart.

Cooltender Carter Hart and his former World Junior teammates are one step closer to playing in the NHL. Hart, Michael McLeod, Alex Formanton, Dylan DuBay, and Cal Foote were acquitted of sexual assault charges in July, clearing the way for their return. The NHL doesn't have a formal personal conduct policy like other professional sports do, which means the league and teams handle cases like this individually. McLeod, Hart, Dubay, and Foote can get picked up by any team. The Ottawa Senators would have to sign Formanton by December 1st for him to play this season. Richard McLaren
