Скачать или смотреть What we know about Arturo Gamboa, the man arrested after the Salt Lake City ‘No Kings’ shooting

Arturo Gamboa is a 24-year-old local punk rock drummer who deeply cares about his community. He also likes guns, and at least a dozen times, he’s brought one to a protest.⁠
⁠
That’s according to his longtime friend and roommate, who spoke with The Salt Lake Tribune about Gamboa.⁠
⁠
When Gamboa did bring his gun to protests — an AR-15 style rifle — he never aimed it at anyone, his friend said. He never indicated he might use it, and no one ever fired on him thinking he was about to, the friend said. Not until the “No Kings” march in downtown Salt Lake City earlier this month.⁠
⁠
So what changed between those earlier demonstrations — dating back to at least 2020 — and this one, where Gamboa was arrested on suspicion of murder after a protest volunteer opened fire on him, injuring Gamboa and killing an innocent bystander, Arthur “Afa” Folasa Ah Loo, in the process?⁠
