Photo: Facebook / News For Black Community A renowned Samoan fashion designer was fatally shot at the "No Kings" protest in Salt Lake City on Saturday, the Salt Lake City Police Department (SLCPD) has confirmed. Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, known as Afa Ah Loo, an "innocent bystander" at the protest, died despite efforts by paramedics to save his life, police said. Ah Loo, a Utah resident, died at the hospital. The Utah Office of the Medical Examiner will determine the official cause and manner of death. The SLPCD said the incident began at approximately 7.56pm local time when a sergeant assigned to the SLCPD Motor Squad reported hearing gunfire near 151 South State Street. It said the sergeant and his squad were working to facilitate traffic and help to ensure public safety during a permitted demonstration that drew an estimated 10,000 participants. "As panic spread throughout the area, hundreds of people ran for safety, hiding in parking garages, behind barriers, and going into nearby businesses. "The first officers on scene notified SLCPD's incident management team using their police radios." The SLCPD said officers quickly moved in to secure the scene and search for any active threats and found a man who had been shot and immediately began life-saving efforts. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the 39-year-old man who was killed, and with the many community members who were impacted by this traumatic incident," Salt Lake City police chief Brian Redd said. "When this shooting happened, the response of our officers and detectives was fast, brave, and highly coordinated. It speaks to the calibre of this great department and our law enforcement partners."

Bali shooting: Alleged gunman arrested after Australian tourist killed
One of two gunmen on the run after allegedly killing an Australian tourist and critically injuring another in a Bali villa has been arrested. The suspects, both Australian, allegedly opened fire just after midnight on Saturday inside a private villa in the North Kuta region. Zivan Radmanovic, a 32-year-old father of six from Melbourne, was killed at the scene. His wife, Jasmine, had been in bed at the time and is understood to have witnessed the shooting. Sanar Ghanim was found badly beaten and shot multiple times. He remains in a critical condition under police guard at Kuta Hospital. Police say the two alleged gunmen fired at least 17 rounds before fleeing the scene on scooters. Witnesses described hearing thick accents as the attackers sped off. ADVERTISEMENT 'They tried starting the motor once… twice… three times it failed and then they sped off,' one local told the ABC. Another witness, who initially mistook the shots for something else, said, 'I thought it was a metal sheet falling hard… The sound was so loud – bang!' One of the suspects is being questioned at Badung Police Station following the fatal shooting. A second alleged gunman remains on the run. It's still unclear what led to the deadly ambush. Investigators are yet to publicly confirm a motive but say no possibility is being ruled out. Radmanovic's grieving family is now calling for a full investigation, urging Indonesian authorities to bring those responsible to justice.
