2 Killed, Several Wounded in Shooting Outside Salt Lake City Church During Funeral

Police have launched a manhunt after saying the gunfire followed a parking-lot altercation.

Overview

  • Authorities confirm two fatalities and at least six injured, including three in critical condition, all adults.
  • The shooting was reported around 7:36 p.m. at the Latter-day Saint meetinghouse at 660 N. Redwood Road while a funeral was underway.
  • Suspects remain at large as Salt Lake City police pursue solid leads, including camera footage of a vehicle and searches north along Redwood Road toward the Jordan River.
  • Chief Brian Redd said investigators do not believe the attack targeted a religion and do not consider it a random act.
