SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — The Salt Lake City Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred during a “No Kings” protest Saturday night near 200 S. State Street, and officials are urging people to disperse the demonstration in an orderly fashion.

“We can confirm the shooting resulted in one person being critically injured,” the department posted on X at 8:29 p.m. “The patient has been taken to a hospital with life-threatening injures.”

A Utah News Dispatch reporter that was on scene saw the crowd scatter, with some shouting that they heard gunshots. A photojournalist also witnessed what appeared to be a victim lying in the street with several people administering aid. Soon after, the victim was seen being loaded into an ambulance.

The police department also said officers had a “person of interest in custody.”

They urged people to leave the demonstration “safely and orderly.”

This story is breaking and will be updated as more information becomes available.
