Overview
- Newly released UVU planning files show the event was approved for roughly 600 attendees despite a crowd later estimated at about 3,000 and no EMS or first‑aid station was scheduled.
- Documents reflect debate over venue choice for the open‑air courtyard ringed by buildings, and police have said the fatal shot is believed to have come from a nearby rooftop.
- Security chief Brian Harpole recounted applying immediate pressure to a neck wound, rushing Kirk to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, and later described autopsy findings of bullet fragmentation with no exit wound.
- Harpole said police assured his team rooftops would be covered but that no overwatch materialized, noted drone restrictions and jurisdiction limits on private security, and said Orem police were not asked to assist.
- UVU said it will commission an independent, public review and is hiring eight additional police officers and two security managers, while Tyler Robinson, 22, remains charged with aggravated murder as prosecutors seek the death penalty with a January court date set.
