Investigators say a shooting outside a church in Salt Lake City that killed two people and injured six others grew out of a dispute between people who knew each other and were attending a funeral. The shooting took place Wednesday in the parking lot of a house of worship for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church. Salt Lake City police do not believe the shooting was random or targeted the faith. Police Chief Brian Redd says investigators are examining the motive behind the shooting. Authorities say no suspect is in custody.
