Two people were killed, and at least six were wounded when gunfire erupted outside a funeral at a Mormon church in Utah on Wednesday night, according to authorities and reports.
Eight people were hit by gunfire when shots rang out outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Redwood Road in Salt Lake City around 7:30 p.m., Salt Lake City Police Department spokesperson Glen Mills told the Salt Lake City Tribune.
Two people were killed, and six people were injured in the shooting that occurred while a funeral service was in progress inside the church. Of the six wounded, three individuals are in critical condition, the Salt Lake City Police Department posted on X.
There were no suspects in custody as of late Wednesday night, and it is not immediately clear if there were multiple gunmen involved. A motive was also unknown.
However, police said they have obtained solid leads in the investigation and are working to locate individuals involved in the shooting.
The area around the Mormon church remained closed into the evening as authorities urged the public to stay clear of the still active scene.
The Salt Lake City Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The incident remains under investigation.
