Protests Erupt in Salt Lake City After Police Cleared in Fatal Shooting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Utah has declared a state of emergency following a night of protests in
Salt Lake City. On Thursday, the Salt Lake County district attorney
announced no officers would be charged in the killing of Bernardo
Palacios-Carbajal, a 22-year-old man who was shot at more than 30 times
as he fled police in May. On Thursday, protesters splashed red paint on
the DA's office and splattered red paint on the street outside. The
man's family now plans to sue the city.
