UVU Records Reveal Planning Gaps at Charlie Kirk Event That Drew 3,000

The university has launched an independent review, with plans to expand campus security staffing.

Overview

  • Newly released documents show planners first projected about 200 attendees, later 600, while police estimated the crowd at roughly 3,000.
  • Event paperwork indicated no on‑site EMS or first‑aid station was scheduled, and Kirk was taken to a hospital after the shooting.
  • UVU says it will commission a public independent review and is hiring eight additional police officers plus two security managers.
  • UVU’s police chief said six campus officers were on duty and Kirk had his own security, with the shot believed to have come from a nearby rooftop.
  • Police arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, who faces aggravated murder and related charges as prosecutors seek the death penalty, with a court date set for January.
