An innocent bystander at a “No Kings” protest in Utah was shot and killed by a “peacekeeper” who was aiming for a different man pointing an AR-15-style rifle toward the crowd, witnesses told Salt Lake City police.

The 'No Kings' protest in Salt Lake City was struck by violence when a man allegedly brandished a rifle near the crowd.

Utah 50501, the organizers of Saturday's protest in downtown Salt Lake City, say there was an "imminent threat" to protesters before the deadly shooting.
