I asked Grok for a condensed version of the UVU After-Action Report of the events surrounding 9/10/25 and this is what it stated:
Condensed from UVU’s independent after-action report on the Sept. 10, 2025 Charlie Kirk shooting. The team says it found no UVU bad faith, then documents planning and security failures that look especially bad for TPUSA / Integrity Solutions / Dan Flood.
Shocking / most damaging to TPUSA & Kirk’s security
• TPUSA and its protection team refused to talk to the review. Integrity Solutions lead Brian Harpole, TPUSA Security Supervisor Dan Flood, field rep Maycee Crofts, TPUSA Phoenix, and the UVU club president who invited Kirk did not respond to calls, emails, or certified letters. A Utah risk official asked a TPUSA executive to get them to cooperate. Still nothing.
• TPUSA overrode UVU on the venue. UVU staff flagged that the outdoor Fountain Courtyard was hard to control and suggested a tighter site. TPUSA insisted on the courtyard. The report says UVU should have kept authority over venue, ticketing, and access because it was campus property.
• TPUSA’s own intake downplayed risk. The MEAC questionnaire, filled “straight from the TPUSA team,” projected ~600 people, called it mostly student-focused, and claimed no safety/security concerns and no need for EMS.
• TPUSA kept the guest list. National office in Phoenix ran ticketing. UVU could not get reliable, real-time attendance numbers.
• Coordination with Kirk’s detail was thin and late. After MEAC, Chief Long asked Crofts to connect him with TPUSA security. No one called. He had to chase contacts. Flood first called Sept. 3 and asked for close parking and easy in/out for Kirk—not a joint security plan.
• The planned face-to-face never happened. Report says UVUPD and the protection detail should have walked the site days before and the morning of. Chief Long texted Flood to meet at 11 a.m. on the Hall of Flags walkway. That meeting did not occur.
• No written Security Assessment or Event Action Plan—no documented line-of-sight study, posts, comms, arrival/departure plan, or who owned rooftops/buildings.
• Elevated-shot problem was known and handled late. Flood raised the Hall of Flags walkway on Sept. 8. UVU then taped it and posted two officers shortly before the event. That was reactive, not a full elevated-position plan. Buildings, balconies, stairwells, and rooftops were still in play; people later tried to get onto a balcony over the stage.
• Almost no physical security envelope. No real perimeter, fencing, or controlled gates. Only bike racks near the canopy. After the shot, the crowd knocked the racks over. No attendee screening, no metal detection, no credentialing for staff/media/VIP/private security.
• Cameras were not watched live. Footage helped the investigation after Kirk was hit. Nobody was assigned to monitor feeds for rooftops/restricted areas during the event. The report later recommends analytics for people on roofs.
• Protective intelligence was weak. Prior TPUSA-tour disruption/security problems were not folded into a structured UVU plan. UVU also lacked a real subject-focused OSINT capability.
• Report’s blunt line: coordination among UVUPD, Harpole, and Flood did not include a structured briefing or site walk-through before or on Sept. 10.
Other shocking operational facts (campus, but they sit next to TPUSA’s choices)
• Shot at ~12:23 p.m. Chief Long was in a second-floor command post with a window view and saw Kirk get hit.
• No immediate campus-wide alert from the police chief as Incident Commander. Later alerts were late, inconsistent, and contradictory (“secure-in-place” confused people).
• A 2023 active-assailant tabletop already flagged EOC/comms/situational-awareness problems. Same issues returned.
• First person detained was not the shooter; the actual assailant was still out. A rifle believed used in the crime was recovered after someone was seen leaving a roof area.
Last bullet point in comments…
The After-Action Report for Utah Valley University is 157 pages long (not including title page). Yikes 😳. Someone check on Erika & them.
