Gun Violence

In a high-profile case this complex, Utah criminal defense attorney Steve Burton said prosecutors will want to thoroughly evaluate all the evidence, which they have lots of.

Colleagues have grown accustomed to Lee’s online persona, mostly brushing it off. That is, until this past week, after his posts about the killing of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband incensed fellow senators.

Gamboa’s attorney had sought his release because “he is being unlawfully detained in violation of his constitutional rights.”

An autopsy showed Fnu Reena was eight weeks pregnant at the time of her death. Also among the victims were 8-month-old Anderson Garcia Cabrera Jr. and 18-year-old Hassan Lugundi.

Utah is “probably the most permissive state when it comes to use of firearms, possession, purchase of firearms,” said Clark Aposhian, host of Gun Radio Utah.

“Every action organized under the 50501 name is expected to uphold a strict no-weapons policy, without exception,” the movement posted on social media. They say Salt Lake City’s protest did not meet those standards.

“I ask for everyone’s patience,” said Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. The district attorney’s office wants “sufficient time to review, analyze, and make an informed decision to any allegations of criminal wrongdoing.”

House GOP leadership said it’s “on all of us” to bring down the temperature following shootings at a protest in Salt Lake City and politically-motivated attacks in Minnesota.

Mientras la gente corría en busca de seguridad tras los disparos que interrumpieron la protesta “No Kings” el 14 de junio en Salt Lake City, el obispo episcopal de Utah se quedó afuera y guió a las personas al interior de la Catedral de St. Mark’s, ubicada a no más de una cuadra del tiroteo.

The Salt Lake City Police Department said their investigation includes whether the man who shot Arturo Gamboa and Arthur Folasa Ah Loo was justified in firing his gun.

As people scrambled for safety after gunfire interrupted the June 14 “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City, the Episcopal Bishop for Utah stood outside and guided people inside St. Mark’s Cathedral — no more than a block from the shooting.

A 41-year-old and an 8-month-old baby were among the people killed during WestFest, an annual festival hosted by West Valley City to commemorate its founding.
