Claim 3: “One suspect is in custody, the local Fox affiliate station reported.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results provide multiple examples of 'one suspect in custody' following various incidents (Trump shooting, Route 6, Hamtramck school). However, there is no single, consistent, or corroborating report that confirms 'One suspect was taken into custody' specifically related to the context of the other claims (stabbing at a Washington high school). The evidence is too fragmented and lacks a specific source tie to confirm the claim's context.
