Title: Deadly Incident at Trump Protest, Culprit Identified in Salt Lake City

In Salt Lake City, tragedy struck over the weekend during a protest against President Trump. A 39-year-old protestor, uninvolved in the unrest, met a tragic end after succumbing to gunshot wounds sustained during the demonstration. The exact circumstances leading to the shooting remain obscure, as detailed by Police Chief Brian Redd in a statement on Sunday.

A suspect has been apprehended in relation to the incident. However, it's crucial to note that the culprit arrested wasn't the one who pulled the trigger, according to preliminary reports. The shooting incident apparently involved a tense confrontation. The unfortunate individual shot was spotted manipulating a rifle before being fired upon by an alleged peacekeeper[1].

The deadly incident in Salt Lake City marked one of the largest anti-Trump protests so far in the United States, with thousands flocking to streets nationwide over the weekend. An estimated 10,000 protestors gathered in Salt Lake City alone, with organizers reporting over five million participants in over 2,100 cities. The protesters vocalized their disapproval of President Trump's perceived authoritarian behavior and his immigration policies, particularly mass deportations.

In a stark contrast, Trump celebrated his 79th birthday with a military parade in Washington on Saturday, coinciding with the US Army's 250th anniversary. Despite the grand spectacle, polls indicate that a majority of Americans were against the parade.
