A crazed gunman was taken into custody Saturday night after allegedly opening fire on thousands of protesters in Utah during a “No Kings” march that left one person critically injured, police said.
The terrifying incident unfolded around 8 p.m. near South State Street in Salt Lake City, sending a crowd of more than 10,000 people running for their lives as gunshots rang out, according to local reports.
The wounded victim reportedly collapsed at the chaotic scene, where he received emergency treatment, before being rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, Salt Lake City police said.
“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 on X.
“This is an active situation, and we’re working closely with law enforcement to ensure accountability.”
