Tragedy Strikes Annual Carnival in Utah

Tragedy unfolded at an annual carnival in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah, as a shooting resulted in three deaths, including an eight-month-old infant, and two teenagers injured. The altercation, which erupted between two groups on Sunday night, also claimed the life of a 41-year-old female bystander.

West Valley City Police reported that during an argument at "Westfest" in Centennial Park, a 16-year-old male pulled out a gun and started shooting. Officers returned fire but missed the suspect, who has since been taken into custody, police confirmed.

The incident, marking the 156th mass shooting in the U.S. this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, highlights the nation's ongoing struggle with gun violence. The wounded teens, a male and a female, sustained arm injuries, though their involvement with the arguing groups is unclear.
