Vilos said he doesn’t envy the job of Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill.

    SALT LAKE CITY — As investigators piece together the events that led to the deadly shooting at Saturday’s protest in Salt Lake City, they’re looking at the actions of two armed citizens.

    SALT LAKE CITY – Utah's on track for a busier wildfire season. At the same time, cuts on the federal level could mean fewer firefighters and fewer resources are at the ready to help the state respond. Fire forecasters are keeping a close eye on the weather as last year's growth becomes this year's problem. Monsoons coming in too late or too weak could raise fire risk above normal, said Basil Newmerzhycky, a meteorologist with Great Basin Predictive Services.

    SALT LAKE CITY — A majority of Utah law enforcement agencies have not complied with a new law requiring them to provide sexual assault data to the state. "This is a really important issue," said Rep. Angela Romero, D-Salt Lake City. Unlike other types of violent crime in Utah, rape is consistently recorded at higher rates than the national average. "In Utah, we're in the top 10," Romero said.
