Today, we witnessed thousands of people marching peacefully, respectfully and with purpose in downtown Salt Lake City. That unity and care for one another reflects the heart of our city.
It’s especially painful that such a meaningful and peaceful moment was followed by an act of violence. We are deeply saddened by this tragedy and extend our heartfelt condolences to the victim, their family and everyone affected.
We are grateful to our first responders for acting quickly to provide aid and support community safety.
Salt Lake City is a place where people care deeply, show up for each other and speak out for what they believe in. Violence has no place here—and it will never define who we are.

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. 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. We’ll get through this.
