Hundreds protest police shooting, represent LGBTQ Pride

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Hundreds of people gathered in Salt Lake City over the weekend to continue to speak out against police brutality and discrimination. They marched to the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s office on Saturday, and to the spot where a man died after police officers responding to a gun call fired at him 20 times as he ran away. Black Lives Matter protesters were joined Sunday by LGBTQ Pride demonstrators who shared their own struggles and stood in solidarity with marginalized groups demanding change. The events marked more than two weeks of protests in Utah sparked by the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
