## Resource

Charlie Kirk’s family files a wrongful death notice blaming Utah Valley University for failing to protect him during a campus debate, citing reckless safety omissions that left him vulnerable to a sniper attack from 400 feet away — a risk made glaringly obvious by last year’s attempted assassination of President Trump. The suit names university officials and the state of Utah, accusing them of ignoring basic security protocols, including perimeter control and emergency response readiness. As the one-year anniversary of Kirk’s death approaches, prosecutors move forward with charges against the shooter, Tyler Robinson, who turned himself in and admitted his actions were fueled by hatred.
