SALT LAKE CITY — Multiple people were stabbed Tuesday afternoon in a brawl that broke out at a funeral home in downtown Salt Lake City.
Police were called to Neil O'Donnell Funeral Home at 372 E. 100 South around 1:30 p.m.
In an update released Wednesday, police said several dozen people were at a funeral home for a viewing. At some point during the viewing, they said a fight broke out. The fight escalated, and at least three people were stabbed.
Police found four victims when they arrived. Initially, they believed one had been shot and three had been stabbed. The victim believed to have been shot was taken to the hospital in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
