I want to express my deepest condolences to the victims of tonight’s shooting. This tragedy never should have happened, but the fact that it happened outside a place of worship during a celebration of life is especially heartbreaking.  I’ve been in constant contact with our police department leadership throughout the evening and have full faith that their investigation will bring the suspects to justice. I’m grateful for the swift response of our 911 dispatchers, police, and fire personnel, as well as the support of multiple law enforcement agencies.

We are on scene of a shooting at 660 N. Redwood Road. 2 people were killed and at least 6 more have been injured with at least 3 of those in critical condition. The suspects are still outstanding, but our officers have obtained solid leads and are working to locate those involved. Redwood Road is closed in both directions from 500 N to 700 N. Anyone with information should call 801-799-3000. #SLC #SaltLakeCity #SLCPD

BE ADVISED: Flooding has been reported near 1968 W 800 N. Please avoid the area if possible until conditions improve. City and County departments are actively responding to contain the flooding and minimize further impact. Follow @slcwater for real-time updates.

As a pioneering heart surgeon and later as the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson devoted his life to healing—people and communities alike. I extend my deepest condolences to his wife, Wendy, and his family as we honor his extraordinary life.

Robert Redford left a legacy on Utah and the world that won’t be soon forgotten. My heart goes out to his family and the millions who were impacted by his brilliance. In uncertain times, I think of what he both lived for and advocated for in his actions: meaningful storytelling that brings people together by conveying complex emotions into powerful inspiration…and solace in the outdoors through his stewardship of the environment. 📷: Fox Searchlight via AP

The horrific act of violence against Charlie Kirk at UVU this afternoon is abhorrent and un-American. There is no place for political violence in our society.

The violence we’ve seen today in Salt Lake City and elsewhere in the country is horrific—it’s just not who we are. We deserve to feel safe, especially when exercising our First Amendment rights. Thank you to the Salt Lake City Police Department for their quick action tonight to protect lives and support those marching peacefully. My heart is with you, SLC. We’ll get through this.

We can confirm the shooting resulted in one person being critically injured. The patient has been taken to a hospital with life-threatening injures. Officers are asking people to leave safely and orderly. This remains a very fluid situation. Media staging is at 100 South 300 East. Please upload all videos and photos of the incident: saltlakecitypd.evidence.com/axon/community… #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

We are investigating a shooting possibly associated with the demonstration near 200 South State Street. We have multiple law enforcement units in the area trying to verify information and to determine if there is a victim. We have a person of interest in custody. We are asking people to leave to leave the demonstration safely and orderly. #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity #SLC

Tonight, we issued an AMBER Alert for an 18-month-old girl, Josephina, who has been unlawfully taken by her mother, Holly Angelina Smith, in violation of a court order to surrender custody. Link: police.slc.gov/2025/02/21/slc… #SLC #SLCPD #SaltLakeCity

Salt Lake City is now home to @delta's first significant training facility outside its Atlanta headquarters. In less than 10 years, thousands of athletes and visitors will arrive here for the 2034 Winter Games. We need highly-trained pilots to help bring the world here. This Pilot Training Center will help make that happen.

Playing games creates connections and that happens every day at Game Night Games in Sugar House. This holiday season, #shopslc. Connect with your neighbors who run small businesses. They’ll be eager to help you, and you’ll help them.

We visited Pib’s Exchange with @slcmayor! Check out the Sugar House Savings Pass at shopsugarhouse.org and get discounts and deals for local Sugar House businesses.

Today, I’m reflecting on the profound impact veterans have had on our lives. Because of their sacrifices and dedication, we live in a city and a country where freedom and security are a reality. Thank you to every veteran here and across this great nation. Salt Lake City is proud to stand with you and call you our own.

Salt Lake City is proud to have around 200 veterans among its employees—from police and fire to City Council and beyond. Today, they and other veterans from our community signed a banner that will hang on the City and County Building next week, honoring their service.
