An armed volunteer was charged on Wednesday over his role in a June shooting at a "No Kings" protest in Salt Lake City that killed a fashion designer who had competed on "Project Runway."
The Salt Lake County district attorney, Sim Gill, said on Wednesday that he had charged Matthew Scott Alder, 43, with one count of manslaughter, a second-degree felony. Mr. Alder was assisting with crowd control at the "No Kings" rally on June 14 when he tried to confront a man who was carrying an AR-15 style rifle. In the process, he shot the armed man and an unarmed bystander, prosecutors said.
