By Michael Hernandez

WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump said Friday the fatal shooting of an unarmed 25-year-old black man is "very disturbing."

The president expressed his condolences to the family of Ahmaud Arbery, saying his "heart goes out" to them after a video emerged that appears to show the "heartbreaking" shooting.

"I saw the tape and it is a very, very disturbing, the tape," Trump said during a Fox News interview. "I looked at a picture of that young man. He was in a tuxedo, in fact, you put it up, and I must say that looks like a really good young guy. It's a very disturbing situation to me."

The white father and son accused of killing Arbery were charged with murder Thursday night after video of the Feb. 23 attack was posted online, sparking national outrage.

Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis McMichael, 34, have been taken into custody for the fatal shooting.
