Verdict: TECHNICALLY TRUE but with important caveats

Reasoning:

• A book with this exact title by an author named "Anastasia J. Casey" was briefly listed and available for sale on Amazon shortly after the September 10, 2025 shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University¹²³⁴.
• However, the book raised significant red flags: it appeared suspiciously quickly after the shooting (within hours), was likely AI-generated, and initially displayed a publication date of September 9, 2025 — one day BEFORE the actual shooting occurred²⁴⁵.
• Amazon later confirmed the September 9 date was a "technical issue" and the book was published after the shooting⁴.
• The book has since been removed from Amazon due to content guideline violations⁴².
• No physical copies of the book were produced; it existed only as a Kindle e-book³.
• The author "Anastasia J. Casey" could not be verified as a real person, and the book appears to have been hastily created using AI software to capitalize on a tragic event⁵².

While the book was technically "published" on Amazon (meaning it was listed and made available for purchase), this was not a legitimate, professionally published work. It was a quickly assembled, likely AI-generated e-book that was subsequently removed from the platform.
