[Regnum] An attacker opened fire and wounded a person during a protest in Salt Lake City, Utah, US. The city police reported this on June 14 on the social network X.

It is specified that an unknown person opened fire in the city center, near State Street. The incident occurred during the nationwide No Kings action, directed against the policies of US President Donald Trump.

"We are investigating a shooting believed to be related to a demonstration near State Street... We can confirm that the shooting has left one person in critical condition. The victim was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries," the Salt Lake City police statement said.

The police called on the protesters to leave the scene. It is noted that the alleged attacker was detained.

Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that protests against the policies of President Donald Trump and his administration took place in a number of major cities. The demonstrations took place as part of the nationwide No Kings action on the day of the military parade in Washington and the birthday of the US President.

President Trump has warned of the possibility of using force in the event of protests during a military parade to celebrate the anniversary of the American army. The politician added that he considers the protesters to be people who hate their country.
…because that’s exactly what they are.
Here’s hoping the retirement home contingent were safely back inside for dinner before the excitement started:
