Salt Lake City police said​ in a post to social media that the shooting was "possibly associated" with a "No Kings" demonstration.

An estimated 10,000 people were in attendance at the “No Kings” rally that began in Pioneer Park and marched north through the downtown area, the Salt Lake City Police Department said. Gunfire was heard at around 8 p.m., with video posted online showing protesters fleeing in terror.

Thousands filled downtown streets Saturday as part of coordinated demonstrations targeting what speakers called the president's authoritarian tendencies.

Protesters took to the streets and marched through downtown Denver on Saturday, June 14, 2025, joining nationwide protests against President Donald Trump’s policies.

Protesters gathered in downtown Mobile as part of nationwide demonstrations against Trump's administration, with one attendee claiming the turnout exceeded expectations for "lower Alabama."
