Probe Stalls After Salt Lake City Funeral Shooting
Investigators reviewed license-plate reader data and surveillance footage after a funeral shooting at an Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Salt Lake City left two dead and six wounded, with no arrests by midday.Police said the gunfire followed a dispute among attendees who knew one another, and they do not believe it was random or motivated by anti-Mormon sentiment, as the scene and uncooperative witnesses slowed the probe.Authorities identified the dead as
Vaea Tulikihihifo, 46, and
Sione Vatuvei, 38, as Mayor
Erin Mendenhall condemned the violence and church spokesperson
Sam Penrod said the congregation was cooperating amid heightened alert after a Michigan church massacre that the
FBI tied to anti-Latter-day Saints beliefs.
