November 3, 2026 at 7:03 AM MT · via The Salt Lake Tribune · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has put a Salt Lake City meetinghouse under contract for sale following a deadly shooting that occurred at the building earlier this year, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
The decision to sell the property comes months after the violence, though the Tribune report does not specify details about the shooting incident itself or the circumstances leading to the sale. The church has not publicly commented on whether the shooting directly influenced the decision to list the property.
The meetinghouse's sale marks a rare disposal of church property in Salt Lake City, where the institution maintains hundreds of buildings.
