SLC Mormon Church Shooting

Описание: In this powerful and wide-ranging episode of The Salt Lake Expositor, Randy C. Watts, Megan Connor, and Gene Judson confront some of the most disturbing and urgent issues facing the LDS Church today.

The panel begins with an in-depth discussion of the Salt Lake City shooting outside an LDS church during a funeral, where multiple people were killed and injured. As new details emerge, the hosts examine law enforcement statements, eyewitness accounts, gang-related allegations, and the troubling lack of security at LDS church buildings. They also explore questions of institutional responsibility, liability, and whether the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has failed to protect its members and surrounding communities.

From there, the conversation expands into broader patterns of harm, including:

LDS Church security failures and refusal to implement safeguards

Allegations of gang activity connected to LDS congregations

The church’s legal strategy when victims seek accountability

A devastating youth boating accident tied to a church activity that resulted in a child losing his foot

The LDS Church’s response to lawsuits, victim compensation, and duty of care

Sexual abuse cases involving LDS leaders and the church’s resistance to transparency

The urgent need for background checks, mandatory reporting, and real child-protection policies

Throughout the episode, the hosts make clear that criticism of LDS leadership and policies is not advocacy for violence, but a call for accountability, reform, and protection of the vulnerable. They emphasize the importance of reporting crimes directly to law enforcement—not church leaders—and highlight the work of independent watchdog organizations like Floodlit.

This episode is essential viewing for anyone concerned about religious accountability, institutional negligence, survivor advocacy, and public safety.
