Kirk family's wrongful-death claim hits Utah immunity hurdle

Fox News reported that the Kirk family's wrongful-death claim could be dismissed because Utah's broad government-immunity statute may shield the university and state officials from liability. The family had earlier filed a notice of claim accusing Utah Valley University, its police chief Jeffrey Long and other state officials of failing to provide adequate security, which they say contributed to Kirk's fatal shooting during a campus event.

Two claims regarding the family of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk filing legal actions against Utah Valley University were partially confirmed, including the wrongful-death claim filed on September 19, 2026, and the legal notice accusing the university and state officials of inadequate security issued on September 16, 2026. The claim that Utah’s government-immunity statute might bar the wrongful-death case lacked sufficient evidence.
