A “suspicious device” was safely detonated by law enforcement at Utah State University on Tuesday afternoon. This occurred just ahead of the anticipated Turning Point USA event, marking the first in-state gathering since the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. The university had already heightened its security protocols in response to increasing concerns.

As stated by Utah State University, the device was discovered near Old Main, a prominent campus building. Although classified as “non-explosive,” the bomb squad took precautionary measures to detonate it. A video obtained by Fox News captures the moment just before the explosion, with shouts of “fire in the hole.”

The university’s announcement read, “A suspicious device was found near the exterior of Old Main. Both university and local law enforcement responded swiftly to the situation. The device was assessed and deemed non-explosive. To ensure safety, the bomb squad proceeded to detonate the device. The Old Main building is now secure, and all planned activities can continue as scheduled.”

Ellis Bruch, the Executive Director of Public Safety at Utah State University, informed Fox News that a university staff member noticed someone placing the device under a tree near Old Main and reported it as suspicious. A K-9 unit gave a “bit of an indication” about the device, which led to the bomb squad’s involvement.

Bruch confirmed that no injuries were reported during the incident.

The Utah State University’s Turning Point USA chapter is scheduled to host notable figures including Alex Clark, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and former Congressman Jason Chaffetz on Tuesday evening. This event marks the first TPUSA gathering in Utah following the assassination of the organization’s founder at Utah Valley University on September 10.
