A 39 -year -old protester died after being injured, visibly by mistake, on Saturday during one of the protest steps against President Donald Trump in Utah (West), Salt Lake Police said Sunday.
This death of a protester, extremely rare in the United States, reaches the end of a political weekend time in the country, markedly marked by the murder of a local chosen official in Minnesota (north) and demonstrations throughout the country on Saturday.

It was in the organized in Salt Lake City when the victim marched when, according to a police statement, a 24-year-old man appeared and “soft” an AR-15 rifle, a semi-automatic weapon, then “ran towards the crowd.”
This led someone responsible for ensuring the demonstration, which was visibly sought to disassemble the man in the rifle, “to draw three bullets, one of which he touched fatally” the 39 -year -old demonstrator, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo.
“Our researchers think it was an innocent passerby,” police wrote.
The 24 -year -old man was arrested and accused of murder, police said in his statement about X. He did not shoot, said police chief Brian Redd at a press conference.
The person who shot the three shots was not worried about the police and cooperated with the investigators, he added.
