Gun Violence

Utah Valley University will hire eight additional police campus officers and two new safety managers to coordinate security for future events on campus. The school received harsh criticism for its lack of key safety measures on the day of the shooting.

Según una ley estatal de 2024, las escuelas de Utah tienen tres opciones para cumplir con el requisito de seguridad armada. La opción más popular, por mucho, también es la más barata: los guardianes escolares voluntarios.

Laura Ah Loo has not said much publicly about her husband’s fatal shooting at a June No Kings protest in Salt Lake City. But after more than four months without any charges filed, her legal team wants action. And they’re planning to sue.

Per a 2024 state law, Utah schools have three options to fulfill an armed security requirement. The most popular option by far is also the cheapest: volunteer school guardians.

A woman who was inside a Michigan church when her father and three other people were killed has written a public plea for peace. Lisa Louis also says she instantly forgave the gunman after they locked eyes in the chaos.

An Associated Press review of Utah Valley University found the school lacked several key public safety measures and practices that are standard security for events around the country.

Authorities had feared they would find more victims in the charred wreckage but now believe everyone is accounted for after Sunday’s attack. Investigators are focusing on what motivated the former Marine to ram his pickup truck into the church in Grand Blanc Township.

Police say a 40-year-old man rammed a pickup truck into the front door of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, about 50 miles north of Detroit, before starting the shooting. He is also believed to have deliberately set fire to the church building.

Utah Valley University student body president Kyle Cullimore said the shooting has “reminded us how deeply in times of need, we utterly and desperately need each other.”

La acusación del fiscal dice que Robinson supuestamente le dijo a sus padres que lo hizo porque “hay demasiada maldad y el tipo [Charlie Kirk] difunde demasiado odio”.

Classes at Utah Valley University were canceled in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Students arrived on Sept. 17 at a solemn campus, one with more security.

Prosecutor’s indictment said Robinson allegedly told his parents he did it because “there is too much evil and the guy [Charlie Kirk] spreads too much hate.”
