The shooting happened not far from Salt Lake City’s Pioneer Park where a large crowd, estimated to be 10,000, had gathered for a march, according to police.
“The shooting at tonight’s protest in Salt Lake City is a deeply troubling act of violence and has no place in our public square,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said in a social media post. “This is an active situation, and we’re working closely with law enforcement to ensure accountability.”
