A shooting during Saturday night's "No Kings" protest in Salt Lake City left one person critically injured and another hospitalized, prompting Mayor Erin Mendenhall to denounce the violence and urge calm, saying it "does not define our city."
The "No Kings" rallies took place nationwide on June 14 to protest what organizers call growing authoritarianism in the U.S., timed to counter a $25–$45 million military parade in Washington celebrating President Trump's 79th birthday and the Army's 250th anniversary.
