At the lively local festival, people are seen running out, and a police officer holding a baby quickly jumps into a vehicle.

On Sunday night local time, a shooting incident occurred at a festival held on the outskirts of Salt Lake City, Utah.

The suspect is a 16-year-old boy who was arrested at the scene.

People are throwing trash at the suspect and hurling accusations.

An 18-year-old man, a 41-year-old woman, and an 8-month-old baby in a stroller were killed in the shooting.

The baby was out with parents to celebrate 'Father's Day'.

Two others were shot in the arm, and a pregnant woman was injured while fleeing over a fence.

Police believe the suspect suddenly pulled out a gun and opened fire after getting into an argument with a crowd nearby.

Earlier, on the previous day, an innocent participant was killed by a shot fired by a security guard who was trying to subdue a man carrying a rifle at a nearby anti-Trump protest.

Residents, shocked by the back-to-back shooting incidents during what should have been a peaceful weekend, have decided to hold a candlelight vigil.
