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.

The city’s public safety plan, which took effect in January, calls for increased law enforcement and aggressive prosecution of crimes downtown.

With two major league sports teams in the heart of downtown, Salt Lake City is looking to leverage that investment into the city’s long-term success.
