Two killed, six injured in shooting outside Salt Lake City church

Two people were killed and six others injured in a shooting outside a Salt Lake City church on Wednesday night while mourners were attending a memorial service inside, police said.

The shooting took place in the back parking lot of a house of worship for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Utah-based faith



known widely as the Mormon church.

Authorities said no suspect was in custody on Wednesday. All the victims were adults. At least three of the injured were in critical condition, police said. Police said they do not believe the shooter had any animus toward a particular faith. They also don’t think the shooting was random.
