Utah Valley University has released a 158-page report into the circumstances surrounding the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on campus last year, when he was shot and killed during a public speaking event in the school's central courtyard.The report, conducted independently by the Lake Forest Group but commissioned and released by the school, identified 10 "key findings" aimed at improving security for future events and concluded that no one at UVU acted "in bad faith or in willful and wanton disregard for the safety of others."Among those key takeaways, the reviewers found that UVU's application of its own policies "was significantly inconsistent;" security was insufficient for a high-profile, outdoor event and that there was no one in the university police department assigned to monitor campus security cameras.CHARLIE KIRK'S FAMILY ALLEGES UVU KNEW OF ROOFTOP SECURITY RISK BEFORE HIS ASSASSINATION: LEGAL FILINGCharlie Kirk appears at Utah Valley University Sept.10, 2025 in Orem, Utah.
