Turning Point USA says security lacked jurisdiction to monitor rooftop when Charlie Kirk was assassinated

Two weeks after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated, spokesman Andrew Kolvet revealed who had jurisdiction to monitor the rooftop where the alleged killer fired the fatal shot.

Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of shooting Kirk from the roof of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, killing the 31-year-old father of two.

Many questioned why Robinson was not spotted by Kirk’s security team, who were feet away from him when he was assassinated.

However, law enforcement still must follow Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, and may need special waivers to fly over large groups of people, or at specific locations.

While Kirk supposedly did not raise any specific security concerns about the Sept. 10 speaking engagement at Utah Valley University, guest speaker Dr. James Orr said in the episode that Kirk acknowledged the “risk” of an upcoming trip to the University of Missouri on Sept. 29.

“We were putting plans in place for me to go with him to the University of Missouri,” Orr said. “[Kirk] said, ‘You know, that’s going to be the tough one. That’s where it’s riskiest. That’s the one that’s going to be the most dangerous.’ I said, ‘Well, I hope you got a lot of good security.’ He said, ‘Yeah, it’s all sorted. Don’t worry about it.'”
