Peacekeeper Mistake Kills Protester at Utah Rally

Police named the victim who died during a Salt Lake City protest shooting. Arthur Folasa Ah Loo attended the No Kings Day march when violence broke out around 8 p.m. Officers found the 39-year-old man shot near 100 South and 200 East streets. Doctors at the hospital could not save his life. About 10,000 people joined the peaceful demonstration before the tragedy happened.

Witnesses saw 24-year-old Arturo Gamboa leave the crowd during the march. The suspect moved behind a wall and pulled out a rifle. Two peacekeepers watched Gamboa raise his weapon toward the protesters. One peacekeeper fired three shots at the armed man. The bullets hit both Gamboa and the innocent victim.

Emergency medical teams rushed to help both wounded men. SWAT medics treated Folasa Ah Loo before firefighters arrived at the scene. Officers found Gamboa hiding among other people with minor injuries. Police arrested him after discovering an AR-15 rifle and gas mask. Doctors treated Gamboa at the hospital before he went to jail on murder charges.
