An innocent bystander at a “No Kings” protest in Utah was shot and killed by a “peacekeeper” who was aiming for a different man pointing an AR-15-style rifle toward the crowd, witnesses told Salt Lake City police.

People protest Trump administration policies in front of the Arizona Capitol during the "No Kings" rally, part of a nationwide series of demonstrations on June 14, 2025, in Phoenix.

Pam Poindexter with Indivisible Outer Cape said the purpose of the protest was to draw attention to widespread dissatisfaction with the policies and practices of the Trump administration.
