Crime 5 shot, 3 fatally at "WestFest" carnival in Salt Lake City suburb. One of those killed was an infant, police say. By Updated on: June 16, 2025 / 7:40 AM EDT / CBS News

Five people were shot — three of them fatally, including an infant — at an annual carnival outside Salt Lake City Sunday night, authorities said.

West Valley City, Utah, police said officers at the WestFest noticed two groups of people having a "verbal altercation" and, as they moved in to break it up, "a 16-year-old male from one of the groups pulled out a gun and fired."

An 18-year-old male from one of the groups was killed, along with a 41-year-old female bystander and an 8-month-old infant, police said.

In addition, police reported, a 17-year-old female and 15-year-old male were hit in the arm. It wasn't clear whether they were connected to the groups involved.

The 16-year-old male suspect is in custody and was taken to the police station for questioning.

It seems that every weekend there is a mass shooting at a public festival or private party involving “those folks” somewhere in the country.

“The Talk: Non-black Version”, by John Derbyshire (free on line, short essay)
Racial realism got him fired from National Review, the formerly—like Fox News—conservative political magazine.

Situational awareness could save their lives and the lives of those dear to them. It’s time to stop pretending: many black people, esp. young, are feral and dangerous.
Yeah. We see these stories daily now.

If you discount the very young, very old and women who mostly AREN’T committing violent crime, it’s actually about 2.6%. Stunning statistical fact, and why certain appearance attributes are in fact an excellent predictor for the proclivity for violent behavior.

Scott Adams and John Derbyshire were absolutely right.

I live in WVC. I’d bet dollars to donuts it’s black-on-brown and probably over a girl. The Pac-Is typically make moves over territory and Westfest wouldn’t be it (in front of a high school or a Maverik, yeah).
