The security provider for a recent event at Utah Valley University (UVU) where conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was fatally shot has come forward with explosive claims about the security arrangements that may have contributed to the tragedy. Brian Harpole, a former Texas police officer with 14 years of experience, led Integrated Security Solutions, the company responsible for providing security at the TPUSA event. In an appearance on The Shawn Ryan Show, Harpole raised several red flags about the security measures in place on September 10, the day of the shooting. According to Harpole, there were significant security lapses at the event, which may have allowed the shooter to access the roof of the Sorensen Student Center from where Kirk was shot. Harpole released text exchanges with Utah Valley University Police Chief Long, which showed that they were aware of the roof not being secured. He claimed that he had requested to move the event inside an amphitheater, but the university denied the request, citing concerns that it would deter attendees from opposing views. Harpole's claims have sparked renewed scrutiny of the security arrangements at the event. The TPUSA has previously stated that it was the responsibility of the local police to secure the roof, but Harpole's text exchanges suggest otherwise. The full video of Harpole's conversation with Shawn Ryan is available on the latter's YouTube channel. Brian Harpole's background is shrouded in some mystery, with some social media accounts claiming that he was a former bodyguard for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, these claims remain unverified and there is no public record to support them. Harpole holds an honors degree from Columbia College and a Master Peace Officer License from Texas.
