Near the conclusion of a march from Pioneer Park to the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building, a shooting incident occurred in downtown Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City police reported transporting one individual to a hospital and arresting another.

Police in Salt Lake City have detained three individuals following a shooting near the 'No Kings' march downtown on Saturday evening. The incident resulted in a man sustaining a 'critical' gunshot wound.

The injured man was found collapsed on State Street, receiving emergency care in front of the Liberty SKY apartment complex. The motive behind the shooting and the circumstances leading up to it are still under investigation, with initial reports suggesting the involvement of four individuals, including the critically injured victim.

During the incident, a man was observed being placed on a stretcher by Salt Lake City Fire, who appeared to be the same individual previously handcuffed by officers. Police later apprehended one of the involved parties near 200 East and 100 South.

The injured individual was taken to a hospital with serious injuries resulting from a gunshot wound and remains under guard. Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd mentioned in a news conference that the police are uncertain about the identity of the shooter. Two additional individuals were taken into custody later, although specific details about their detainment were not provided.

Police responded to reports of shots fired around 7:56 p.m. near 151 S. State St. Witnesses saw protesters fleeing from the area near the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building, with officers shouting warnings about a 'Gunman!' and 'Man with rifle!' as they entered a nearby parking garage.

Organizers instructed attendees to move north of the federal building for safety. The Salt Lake City Police Department urged people to leave the demonstration calmly and orderly.

Before the shooting incident, an estimated 4,000 individuals had gathered at Pioneer Park for the march to the Bennett Federal Building, a number that increased to 10,000 during the march.

Witnesses shared their accounts of the chaotic events, with some describing the shooter as someone who appeared to be experienced with firearms. Despite the unsettling situation, many protesters emphasized the importance of not letting fear dictate their actions and expressed their commitment to participating in future protests.

The 'No Kings' movement in Utah aimed to oppose various decisions made by the government, including immigration enforcement policies and the use of military force against protests. Speakers at the event highlighted the importance of nonviolence and unity in standing up against what they perceive as oppressive actions by the authorities.
