Protests

Laura Ah Loo has not said much publicly about her husband’s fatal shooting at a June No Kings protest in Salt Lake City. But after more than four months without any charges filed, her legal team wants action. And they’re planning to sue.

On a warm October morning, thousands came to the Utah Capitol building to protest the Trump Administration. Between the speakers, music, signs and costumes, it had the general air of a block party.

Organizers are skipping the march in favor of a rally and more, Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Utah State Capitol. The No Kings protest in June was marred by a fatal shooting in downtown Salt Lake City.

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.

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

“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.

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.

Salt Lake City Police confirmed the death Sunday. The suspect being held in custody has been identified as Arturo Gamboa.

Salt Lake City Police have confirmed that one individual is hospitalized with critical injuries while three others, one with a gunshot wound, are in custody. The motive for the shooting remains under investigation.
