An 8-month-old baby was among three people killed Sunday night when gunfire broke out during a Utah carnival.
Police said an 18-year-old who was believed to be connected to an altercation that preceded the shooting was killed, as was a 41-year-old woman, the West Valley City Police Department said, according to KSL-TV.
Five people were hit by the gunfire, police said. Some victims were shot more than once.
Police representative Roxeanne Vainuku said officers patrolling the carnival where the shooting took place saw two groups arguing and approached the groups to defuse the situation.
One individual produced a firearm and shot into the other group, Vainuku said.

One officer fired at the 16-year-old, Vainuku said.
