Eight People Shot in Deadly Shooting Outside Church Meetinghouse in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City AP - Two people were killed and six others injured in a shooting outside a Salt Lake City church Wednesday night while mourners were attending a memorial service inside, police said.

The shooting took place in the back parking lot of a house of worship for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Utah-based faith known widely as the Mormon church.

Authorities said no suspect was in custody Wednesday.

All the victims were adults. At least three of the injured were in critical condition, police said.

Police said they do not believe the shooter had any animus toward a particular faith. They also don’t think the shooting was random.

“We don’t believe this was a targeted attack against a religion or anything like that,” Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.

The red brick church in the northwest Salt Lake City neighborhood mostly serves Tongan congregants and holds regular worship services in their native tongue, according to its website.

The Zoo-nited States of America.

This kinda thing is now becoming normal to Americans...... because I can't see any strong move aimed at stopping this madness(especially guns control).

A disgraced country. The deranged criminal in the white house doesn't care about the lives of American people, he's more concerned about the show of force in Latin America and Nigeria.
One of the ICE officers Trump unleashed on Americans also shot a woman dead in her car in Minneapolis on Wednesday. All these killings do not bother the deranged criminal in the white house.

Religion of peace

The Muslim terrorists killers will be likely caught or killed, but your Nigeria, the killers are holding meetings with your government officials, killers gives your government conditions.

Utah is a Christian state.

It was founded and populated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints(Mormons).


Utah was also where Charlie Kirk was slain.

Over 60% voted for Trump.

Christian values should guide you in all you do.

May their souls rest in peace.
🙏🏾

Abdul, come on, stay out of America.

Where is the Nigerian Christian saviour, turned drug hunter, turned kidnapper ?😆

America a casted country

No hiding place for Radical Islamic Terrorists

Please spell words correctly when you post

Worry about what you will eat this 2026

Since it's not a Muslim, they watered down the crime and intent.

But if it was a brown person, they would have quickly labelled it a terrorist act.

That said, is this the country asking people to pay 22m for their visa. I won't take that country visa even if it's for free.

The rate of Christian genocide in the United States is alarming and deeply concerning. Such occurrences should not be accommodated in a democratic society. Nigeria stands ready to offer any support the United States may require during this difficult time. In light of these developments, Nigerians are hereby urged to consult regular travel advisory updates and remain vigilant while planning any travel to and in the United States of America Pirates. Especially in the following states.

Michigan
Minnesota
Kentucky
Utah

Exactly the point one needs to point to these dumb critics. In America, law enforcement will get the killer down within hours, unlike in Nigeria.

Not surprised!
New year same problem smh

If Trump and his idiot advisors spent even half the time and efforts being spent on other nations in America, such crimes would be long gone!

America would have since become more peaceful and safer than Saudi Arabia.


You are concerned about how badly other Presidents are handling security in their nations while America still has the highest gun-related deaths in the Universe...!


The hypocrisy stinks!

I'm a Christian and strong opponent of sharia and jihadists but why didn't America intelligent for saw this incident and prevented it.

The rate of killings in America lately is worrisome.

The US needs to stop this subtle genocide against Christians. The UN might draw up a resolution to send troops to protect Christians in the US if the government fails to live up to its responsibilities
