Police said the incident occurred around 8:00 pm Saturday (0200 GMT Sunday) in Utah’s capital Salt Lake City during a protest that drew about 10,000 people -- one of several “No Kings” demonstrations across the United States rallying against Trump.
Police Chief Brian Redd stressed during a news conference that the events leading up to the shooting “were very peaceful,“ adding that the first person taken in custody had a gunshot wound and was transported to the hospital.
“At this time, there is... no ongoing threats to the public,“ Redd said, adding that it was too early in their investigation to say if the shooting was politically motivated.
“The purpose of today’s demonstration was a powerful and peaceful expression until this event and that cannot be overshadowed or silenced by a single act meant to harm,“ she said.
“We are a nation that needs our First Amendment right, we deserve to protest in peace. And what happened today I hope will not silence the voices of the public who deserve to have their voices heard.”
