The family of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has accused Utah Valley University and state officials of failing to provide adequate security at the event where he was fatally shot. A wrongful death notice filed ahead of a possible lawsuit alleges that a series of decisions left Kirk vulnerable to a rooftop gunman.
The notice raises fresh questions about event security, campus police staffing and the emergency response following the September 10, 2025, assassination. It also points to a wider concern surrounding the protection of high-profile political figures at public gatherings.
