Turning Point USA’s Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer has shockingly revealed that Charlie Kirk’s security team were denied the authority to use a key security system on the day he was assassinated, and that it probably would have saved his life.
As we highlighted, footage of Charlie predicting he could be shot and killed taken from his own show months earlier has gone viral.
This prompted one respondent to ask “how TF was TPUSA security so lax that they “missed” a shooter on the only building with a clear shot to Charlie?”
“They practically had one rooftop to keep an eye on,” the X user further remarked, adding “Unacceptable.”
“The answer to your question is that our team has a drone system for watching perimeter and hard to see places. They were not allowed to use it,” Bowyer explained.
He continued, “Universities and university police departments who are separate from bigger city departments and therefore completely influenced by the university are notorious for shutting down drones and extended security perimeters particularly with armed guards because they often complain about militarizing the campus.”
Then came the shocking kicker.
“We use the drone system in every event possible including at our headquarters and it would have saved Charlie’s life in this instance to overcome the police’s decisions on watch and perimeter,” Bowyer claimed.
The answer to your question is that our team has a drone system for watching perimeter and hard to see places. They were not allowed to use it.

Universities and university police departments who are separate from bigger city departments and therefore completely influenced by…
Bowyer added that most Universities don’t allow the drones or even armed security for events like TPUSA’s.
Most universities are completely opposed to guns, guards and drones.

We have to push the limits every time.
Bowyer also revealed that Turning Point uses former special forces security experts, but suggested there was nothing more they could have done on the day.
We do have a team. We can only do as much as police on campus will allow and also working with the police or private security in a given venue.

We run everything like a military op, all of our people are from that background.
That’s who we have.

Many respondents feel this is unacceptable and that Utah Valley University should be sued for negligence.
Unacceptable. The University should be sued. Moving forward, never accept a venue that prohibits your drone system.

Legislation should be passed permitting the use of private drone security for high-profile rallies/speaking events on all college campuses
Unfortunately Cant change what happened & so sorry for your loss

This is Unacceptable to agree to those terms and ultimately played a major role in Charlies death@TPUSA should sue the university for that denial of security measures if you can
It’s clear that Utah Valley University has a fault for not having allowed your drones to check the roof tops before Charlie Kirk went out on that ground. It really could have saved Charlie’s life. I hope Erika Kirk files a case against them.

Others questioned why men were still not stationed on the rooftops.
But in that circumstance, detailing someone to the rooftop opposite the speaking area would have been the obvious move. Sad that wasn’t done.

Then there had to be a person on every roof.

Period.
Next time bear this in mind and have your security team up on ANY ROOFS. take this as a lesson to be learned. Be proactive. God bless you ? ??

And more pointed out that other drones were present and flying around the campus on the day, prompting the question whose were they?
Sir. There were drones recorded at the event. Did you look into if they were military drones? @JG_CSTT has posted all the videos.

Of the drones that were there that day weren’t yours…do we know whose they were? Why do we have almost no details on anything from the FBI?
— Brad (@Brad__AZ) September 19, 2025
You could see drones in the air, were those yours? How could they not see anything? Also where is the sd card from the rear camera?
— Holdmyknittingneedles (@DFWKnitters) September 18, 2025
The university should have covered the roofs then if they denied you are space with the drones. I’d definitely look in to litigation about this. I would think they are at fault for not allowing you to fully secure the area. However, there were drones in the air.

It’s clear that many questions remain.
Will the FBI investigation provide any answers?

That would probably not have prevented the assassination. That rooftop is not where the shot came from. It came from CK’s right. The patsy on the rooftop was a distraction from the assassin, as intended, by the F.B.I.
Was there no autopsy done? Why? It is required by law.
Time for TPUSA to stop meeting in “gun-free zones”?
Its ok, they put him in the suv and took him to the air field to the private jet to israel. It was nice and safe because it turned off its transponder after take off until it hit israel.
So … an assassin easily gains access to a PRIME rooftop for shooting Trump. The Secret Service essentially cleared the roof for the scumbag psycho shooter. And now the college admin. clears the roof for Kirk’s assassin. Why?
And how did the LGBTQueer-mutant assassin know he would be free to roam the roof? I’ve read that he was up there for at least 30min. … the entire time Charlie was speaking. That suggests insider information was given the shooter. Someone in the college admin. told the LGBTQueer-assassin he wouldn’t have to worry about rooftop security.
Our ‘Institutions’ have been infected with Marxist LGBTQueer-mutants … who want “dangerous” Normies DEAD. And they’ll facilitate it
