Three people were killed, including an 8-month-old infant, in a shooting that occurred Sunday, June 15 after an altercation broke out between two groups of people at a festival in Utah, police say.
Five people were hit by gunshots, of which three were fatal, during the WestFest at Centennial Park in West Valley City, a city of about 145,000 people located 12 miles from Salt Lake City. WestFest is an annual four-day festival celebrating the city, according to the festival's website. This year the event ran from June 12 to 15, and featured a carnival, a parade, a talent showcase, rides and fireworks.
Those who died in the shooting include an 18-year-old male, who was part of one of the groups, and a 41-year-old female and an 8-month-old infant, who were bystanders, West Valley City police said in updates posted to X, formerly Twitter.
