SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A military veteran who was trying to stop an alleged gunman and inadvertently shot and killed a demonstrator at a Salt Lake City “No Kings” rally was a “safety volunteer” for the demonstration, according to police and organizers.

Utah 50501, the organizers of the No Kings protest that took place in Salt Lake City on Saturday, confirmed the "peacekeeper" who was involved in a deadly shooting during the protest was a safety volunteer and military veteran.

The alleged rifleman, Arturo Gamboa, 24, was also shot and was taken into custody on a murder charge, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said at a Sunday news conference. The bystander who was killed was identified as Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, a fashion designer from Samoa.
