Charlie Kirk's family files notice of claim against Utah Valley University over his assassination
The family of conservative activist Charlie Kirk filed a notice of claim against Utah Valley University and the State of Utah on Sept. 9, 2026, alleging security failures led to Kirk's fatal shooting during a campus event on Sept. 10, 2025. The notice preserves the family's right to sue and accuses UVU of failing to secure rooftops, conduct risk assessments, and monitor surveillance footage in real time despite warnings from Turning Point USA about rooftop access. Kirk was shot by Tyler Robinson from a campus rooftop while speaking to approximately 3,000 people.
