  "summary": "The Guardian US reports that a new independent investigation commissioned by Utah Valley University (UVU) has found that Turning Point USA (TPUSA) persisted in scheduling a public speaking event for their leader Charlie Kirk outdoors at the university despite security concerns raised by the school’s leadership and police chief. The report, released on Friday, examined the security procedures leading up to Kirk’s fatal shooting on September 10, 2025, during a talk at UVU’s campus in Orem, Utah. The Associated Press contributed to the reporting of this story.",
