9月16日（路透社）——据柯克家属律师提交的索赔通知书显示，美国保守派政治活动家查理·柯克的家属计划就其在犹他州一所大学遇刺一事起诉该校，指控安保不力是导致其死亡的原因之一。
家属律所9月9日致函犹他谷大学和犹他州政府，通报了就柯克2025年9月10日遇刺身亡寻求赔偿的意向，这份已向媒体公开的文件副本显示。

通知书指控，柯克所在的“转折点美国”组织曾警告校警，该校露天剧场的屋顶存在安全隐患——柯克原计划在该剧场发表演讲。通知书称，校警局长曾向“转折点美国”的一名工作人员发短信回应：“我会处理好的。”
通知书指出，校警未能管控通往案发屋顶的通道。
犹他州总检察长办公室和犹他谷大学未立即回应置评请求。
23岁的泰勒·罗宾逊曾是电气学徒，被指控从该校学生资源中心的屋顶开枪射杀柯克。犹他州检方正寻求判处其死刑。

检方指控，罗宾逊的男友当时正考虑进行性别过渡，而罗宾逊因柯克反对同性婚姻和跨性别权利的观点将其作为袭击目标。辩护律师理查德·诺瓦克在法庭上表示，尽管柯克曾“恶意抨击”非异性恋或不符合性别规范的群体，但这不足以构成作案动机证据。
罗宾逊已拒不认罪。预计10月23日的听证会将确定庭审日期。

Sept 16 (Reuters) – The family of conservative U.S. political activist Charlie Kirk plans to sue a Utah university over his fatal shooting there, alleging inadequate security contributed to his death, according to a notice of claim sent by the family’s lawyers.
A September 9 letter from the family’s law firm notified Utah Valley University and the State of Utah of its intent to seek damages over Kirk’s September 10, 2025, killing, according to a copy of the document sent to media.

The notice alleges that Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, warned university police about security risks posed by rooftops overlooking the university’s amphitheater where he was due to speak. According to the notice, the university police chief responded in a text message to a Turning Point USA staff member: “I got you covered.”
The notice says that university police failed to control access to the rooftop from which Kirk was shot.
The Utah attorney general’s office and Utah Valley University did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Tyler Robinson, 23, a former electrical apprentice, is accused of shooting Kirk from the roof of the university’s student resource center. Utah prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Robinson had a boyfriend who was considering gender transition and targeted Kirk for his views against gay marriage and transgender rights, prosecutors allege. Though Kirk spoke “hatefully” about people who were not heterosexual, or gender norm conforming, that does not rise to evidence of motive, defense attorney Richard Novak has said in court.
Robinson has pleaded not guilty. A trial date is expected to be set at an October 23 hearing.
