Shot: Cops say Abdi (pictured left), a Kenyan immigrant, was 'hitting a man with a metal object,' and was shot when he 'turned on officers
Hundreds gathered on Monday to protest the shooting of 17-year-old Abdi Mohamed by Salt Lake City police, an incident that left the boy in critical condition.
The rally, organized by Utah Against Police Brutality, saw protesters chanting 'Black lives matter' and 'Hands up, don't shoot' as they marched through the city. They included family members of people who have been injured or killed by police in the state, reported KUTV.
Police say that Mohamed was caught beating someone with a 'metal object' and was only shot after he refused to drop the weapon and began approaching cops. Protesters say he had a wooden broom stick and was shot before he could even turn around.
After the speeches were made, protesters began their march to the Salt Lake City Police Department, holding aloft a variety of signs.
Many repeated the 'Black lives matter' slogan chanted by the crowds; others memorialized victims of police shootings, and one simply said 'F*** police brutality.
The peaceful protest was a mirror of a much angrier event on Saturday night, shortly after the shooting, when an agitated crowd confronted police in the aftermath of the shooting.
Rocks and bottles were thrown at police, who had to call in reinforcements, The Daily Kos reported.
The worst of that event was over in 10 minutes, police said, but the disturbances continued for hours, and four people were arrested for civil disorder.
