A sh00.ting outside a funeral on Wednesday night, January 7, resulted in two fatalities and six injuries, according to Salt Lake City, USA, police.
Public information officer Glen Mills of the Salt Lake City Police Department stated that there are no suspects in custody and that a manhunt is currently in progress.
The sh00.ting at a chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Redwood Road was reported to the police just after 7:30 p.m. local time.
Sh0ts were fired during an altercation in the parking lot, according to police, while a funeral was being held at the chapel.
Three of the victims who are still alive are in critical condition, while the other three are in unknown condition.
Police are still determining if there was one suspect or multiple suspects.
In a statement, Sam Penrod, spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said the church was aware of a “serious incident” outside the church meetinghouse while a memorial service was taking place.
“We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind,” the statement said.
