Family of Charlie Kirk alleges UVU safety failures enabled campus shooting

The Kirk family filed a wrongful-death notice against Utah Valley University and state officials, alleging lax campus safety and security measures allowed a rooftop shooter to kill Charlie Kirk at UVU in Orem on Sept. 10, 2025. The notice claims failures such as inadequate risk assessment, lack of secure perimeters, no first responders readily available, and no security checks, potentially paving the way for a lawsuit. UVU has said it will address the notice, while the accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, awaits trial on aggravated-murder charges.

Kirk Family Faults UVU Security for Campus Rooftop Shooting

The family of Charlie Kirk filed a wrongful‑death notice alleging UVU and Utah officials failed to implement basic safety measures at a Sept. 10, 2025 campus event, exposing him to a rooftop sniper. They point to a lack of risk assessment, secure perimeters, on‑site first responders, and surveillance (no drone monitoring, no bag checks), with six UVU campus officers present and Kirk’s private security team unable to prevent the attack. The notice, dated Sept. 9, precedes a potential lawsuit and UVU’s stated commitment to address safety questions. Tyler Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder and is awaiting trial. The filing signals the family’s intent to seek damages if the death was caused by negligence.
