2 Killed in Shooting Outside Salt Lake City LDS Meetinghouse During Funeral

Police say the gunfire followed a parking-lot altercation during a funeral, with a manhunt under way supported by federal partners.

Overview

  • Salt Lake City police report the suspects remain at large but say investigators have obtained solid leads and are reviewing surveillance footage.
  • At least six people were injured, including three in critical condition, and some victims were taken to hospitals in private vehicles before officers arrived.
  • Authorities say the attack does not appear to target the faith and is not believed to be random, with motive still under investigation.
  • Gang detectives joined the case as one investigative line, though officials caution it is too early to determine a definitive motive.
  • FBI and ATF offered assistance while officers canvassed witnesses from the funeral and kept parts of Redwood Road closed during the search.
