A new report on Charlie Kirk’s assassination last year says his Turning Point USA organization insisted he speak outdoors despite security concerns from officials at the university where he was killed. It also found that the university didn’t properly assess dangers, including the possibility of a rooftop shooter. Those were among the key findings in a report released Friday by Utah Valley University. The review assessed security procedures for the conservative activist's Sept. 10, 2025, appearance at the Orem, Utah, campus. Investigators examined planning conversations between Turning Point and university officials, and the university’s response to the shooting. Utah Valley said the review was done independently by outside consultants.
