Gunman Opens Fire on ‘No Kings' Protest in Salt Lake City
A gunman opened fire on thousands of protesters in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday evening. One person has been critically injured while a suspect has been taken into custody by police, authorities have said. 'We can confirm the shooting resulted in one person being critically injured,' the agency said in a social media post. 'The patient has been taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries'. 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. Police were seen with guns drawn approaching a man standing next to a building near 200 South and State Street. A Fox 13 News crew reported seeing the man, who was taken into custody, with blood on his hands. 'We have a person of interest in custody,' the police department said. They are appealing for people to leave the area and asking for anyone with photos or videos of the incident to upload them here. Utah Governor Spencer J. Cox said 'The shooting at tonight's protest in Salt Lake City is a deeply troubling act of violence and has no place in our public square'. 'The violence we've seen today in Salt Lake City and elsewhere in the country is horrific—it's just not who we are. We deserve to feel safe, especially when exercising our First Amendment rights,' Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall shared online. 'Thank you to the Salt Lake City Police Department for their quick action tonight to protect lives and support those marching peacefully. My heart is with you, SLC.' This is an unfolding story and will be updated as more details emerge.

Shooting during large march through Salt Lake City leaves 1 critically injured
A shooting during a large 'No Kings' protest that left one person critically injured 'does not define our city,' Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said. 'The purpose of today's demonstration was a powerful and peaceful expression until this event, and that cannot be overshadowed or silenced by a single act meant to harm,' she told reporters a few blocks from the shooting in downtown Salt Lake City on Saturday night. 'I want to urge everyone in the public to be calm, to give one another grace and to look out for one another tonight in the coming days.' Three people also believed to be part of the incident were taken into custody, one of whom was also apparently shot as everything unfolded, according to Salt Lake police. He was transported to a hospital in serious condition. A motive has yet to be determined, and it was unclear if any of the people knew each other, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd added. Officers responded to a report of a shooting near 151 S. State shortly before 8 p.m. It took place as an estimated 10,000 people marched downtown to protest recent federal policy decisions. At least three shots rang out, causing some people in the immediate area to flee, according to videos near the incident obtained by KSL. Several other videos were also uploaded to social media. A woman identified only as Autumn said she and her nephew heard the shots fired downtown, ducked into a nearby garage and saw a person on the ground. 'I was shaking, I was very nervous. I've heard gunshots before, I've seen shootings before, but in such a big crowd, not knowing where they're coming from, it's a lot more scary,' she told KSL. John Cedarland was in the middle of a conversation when the shooting happened. He didn't hear the shots but saw people running and screaming in response. 'I'm old and I've seen scary things, but there were moments there that I was truly gripped with fear,' Cedarland said. Many others in the area helped officers, who were already in the area to monitor the protest, track down the shooter and take him into custody, Redd said. The person who was shot, whose name and age have not yet been released, was transported to a nearby hospital with injuries believed to be life-threatening. Police said one of the 'involved parties' was taken into custody near 200 East and 100 South. They believe there are no other 'outstanding individuals associated with the incident.' Officers have already interviewed over a dozen witnesses and are aware of videos circulating online, Redd said. The many videos will also be used in the department's investigation. It's unclear yet if the shooting had any ties to the event or anything related to politics, he added. 'It appears they were involved at some level in the protest or at least part of the group that was walking, he said. Witnesses or anyone with any information about the incident are asked to call Salt Lake police at 801-799-3000. Gov. Spencer Cox posted on social media that he had spoken with Mendenhall about the incident. Mendenhall said she called the governor to update him on the situation, and he relayed his support for the city's first responders. 'The shooting at tonight's protest in Salt Lake City is a deeply troubling act of violence and has no place in our public square,' Cox wrote. 'This is an active situation, and we're working closely with law enforcement to ensure accountability.' The Saturday evening march began at Pioneer Park. It was one of many throughout the state and the country Saturday protesting the Trump administration. About 4,000 Utahns attended a protest at the University of Utah earlier in the day. 'This is your home. Do not be driven from it. We can make America what America must become,' said Sarah Buck, who is with the organization Salt Lake Indivisible, which helped organize Saturday's 'No Kings' protest outside the J. Willard Marriott Library. 'Right now, many of our actions seem to be falling on deaf ears, but we must persist. We have to wear them down,' she said, adding that everyone needs to continue showing up at events to show the will of the people. 'Join us in standing up for our democracy.' From chants about democracy to immigration, the crowd held up signs, cheered the various speakers and waved American flags. Protesters filled the library plaza and surrounding grassy areas. Talks of tyranny, defying courts, the power of the people and more proliferated through the speeches that were given. The protest included musical numbers 'You'll Be Back' from Broadway's 'Hamilton' and 'Do You Hear The People Sing' from 'Les Misérables.' 'Our democracy is not yet dead, but it is barely breathing,' University of Utah law professor Teneille Brown said. The 'Democratic Party has lost its compass and the Republican Party has lost its soul.'

A speeding ticket led me to Ronald Reagan's hometown and a deeper understanding of America's president
My wife, four daughters and I were driving a rented minivan from Chicago to St. Louis for my cousin's wedding when I suddenly became aware of a police car behind me with flashing lights, signaling me to pull over to the shoulder of the road. A clean-cut, very young and very nice police officer looking to be in his early 20s approached my window and asked me if I realized I had been driving in a construction zone where the speed limit was 45. I told him I could swear the sign had just said 65. He acknowledges that the speed limit was 65 awhile back, but it had most recently been 45. It wasn't until later that I figured out that I was the latest victim of a speed trap, and I would be charged with driving 20 miles over the speed limit. As the officer filled out the ticket, I noticed his hands were shaking. Must be new on the job, I figured and, sensing his weakness, I tried to see if he wouldn't let me off with a warning. He said he couldn't and noted I must appear in court in a month. "But I'm visiting from California," I pleaded. "There's no way I can come back in a month." He urged me to call the court and see if they'd speed up my court appearance. It was only then, as he finished writing the ticket that I looked at it and noticed that the jurisdiction in which my "crime" had been committed was Dixon, Illinois, the hometown of Ronald Reagan. As I tried to process this information, I was reminded of what my mother, who was just as devout as Reagan's mother, often said, that there is a Divine Plan, and that nothing is random in a universe where God orders the steps of His children. Which in my case meant that I was being led to Dixon, against my will, perhaps for a reason. But I still had details to attend to: Following the officer's suggestion, I pulled over and called a clerk at Dixon City Hall to explain my predicament. She agreed I could come and see the judge – but not until the next day. So, I announced to the family, we were spending the night in Dixon, Illinois. We exited the highway at downtown Dixon and settled into the Holiday Inn. After eating some pizza, we decided to see the sights. I've never been to Dixon and had no idea this trip was going to take me by it, but as long as we were there, I decided to make the most of it and learn as much about Reagan as I could. We went to a gas station and asked for directions to two places I feel I needed to visit to better understand Ronald Reagan: the Rock River where he saved 77 lives as a lifeguard, and one of his childhood homes on Hennepin Avenue. We drove down a dusty trail to get to the river and spent nearly an hour looking for the famous log that Reagan was said to have carved a notch in for each life he saved. But of course, there was nothing to be found. After a relaxing afternoon explaining to my kids the significance of the Rock River, visiting the edge of its stony banks, and playing there as kids are wont to do, we piled into the car. Next stop: the home on Hennepin Avenue and more insights into Reagan. The home was white and small, and I stopped in the kitchen and in the upstairs room to think about what the scene looked like 75 years earlier when Reagan's mother Nelle busied herself making a meal while her son did his homework. I also stopped to purchase some poems which had been written by Nelle – nothing fancy or even bound, but just a clump of papers which had been stapled together. After taking some pictures in front of the home we were off again; back to the hotel to get ready for my encounter with the judge the next morning. As I passed through the metal detectors with my wife and four young daughters in tow, I quickly found my public defender who told me what I needed to do. I could go to jail, he said, but most likely I'd just have to pay a fine so long as I pleaded guilty. When I explained that I had been merely traveling at the speed of the car in front of me and that there were cars behind me, he just smiled and said I should tell it to the judge – and in a few short minutes I did just that. In fact, I also had video footage shot on my cellphone which showed what happened when I tried to go at the speed limit after my citation. Not only were cars honking at me from behind, but one driver sped around my right side and showed me his middle finger. I had the whole thing on tape to prove to the judge that 45 mph was an unreasonable rate of speed. "How do you plead?" he asked as I stood before him. "Your honor, I'd like to show you some footage I took to show you what happened when I drove at the speed that was posted," I said with a hopeful tone. "Son, I'm not going to watch your video," he says. "Now, how do you plead?" I thought about the public defender's warning about the possibility of jail and my four young daughters who needed their dad to stay a free man. I quickly replied: "Guilty, your Honor," and with that I was on my way to the clerk to pay a hefty $500 fine. The nice lady at the window listened to my story and then looked down at her clipboard. She noted that I was the 19th case that day, and without exactly saying it, something about her smile left me with the strong impression that this was how Dixon kept their city services funded. Nineteen people at $500 a head, hey, that would keep a lot of services funded, I thought to myself. The fact that I fell prey to this speed trap ultimately didn't matter much because when I got back to California, my Aunt Jeanne, who had heard about my predicament, had sent a check to cover the ticket. And, I had come to understand that there was purpose in what had happened and that my trip to Dixon was part of what Reagan would call the "DP" or Divine Plan, for me to better understand a man whom I thought I understood. Excerpted from "Making Reagan: A Memoir From The Producer of The Reagan Movie" by Mark Joseph. The Reagan film is available on DVD/Blu-Ray and at Amazon and iTunes.
