Salt Lake City March Turns Violent: Suspect Shot by Peacekeepers After Attempted Attack

Salt Lake City, Utah: “Investigators said the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Arturo Gamboa, was spotted by two men — believed to be designated peacekeepers — separating himself from the crowd during the march. The men reportedly observed Gamboa move behind a wall and pull out a rifle. Police said Gamboa raised the weapon into a firing position and began charging toward the crowd. At that point, one of the alleged peacekeepers fired three rounds, striking both Gamboa and Folasa Ah Loo, Chief Redd said. Police later located Gamboa hiding in a crowd of people with a minor gunshot wound. During his arrest, officers recovered an AR-15-style rifle, a gas mask, and a backpack. Gamboa was treated at a hospital for his injuries and then booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail on murder.”
