Charlie Kirk’s family is blaming Utah officials for failing to prevent the conservative activist’s assassination at a state university. The accusation was made in a wrongful death notice announced Wednesday that presages a possible lawsuit from members of Kirk's family. Their attorneys say Kirk’s death last year resulted from a string of “reckless decisions” by officials at Utah Valley University that left him exposed to a rooftop sniper. The university has faced harsh criticism for a lack of key safety measures on the day of the shooting. The notice from Kirk’s family did not specify damages. A university spokesperson says school officials will be addressing the wrongful death notice under normal procedures.
