Two people were killed and six were injured in a shooting outside a Salt Lake City church where a funeral reception was held Wednesday night, according to Salt Lake City police.

Of the six injured, three are in critical condition, Salt Lake City Police Department spokesperson Glen Mills said. The condition of the three others was not known because they were taken to hospitals in private vehicles, he said.

The initial call came in around 7:30 p.m., Mills said. There was no suspect in custody as of 9:30 p.m.

The shooting occurred at the Rose Park 5th Ward meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 660 N. Redwood Road, where Riverside 2nd Ward also gathers. Redwood Road remains closed in the vicinity of the church, with police urging people to stay away from the area.

2. I wasn't aware

That the area had a large Polynesian subculture and within that subculture they are fighting gang violence.

Per cent of the population is 1.6%.

4. Mass shootings in America are never going to stop.

As long as there are angry men and hundreds of millions of semi-automatic weapons. The 2nd Amendment is a suicide pact.
