The only thing better than a fight at a wedding is one at a funeral. This is a terribly written article even with some editing I did but it is worth a chuckle. I wonder how the dead guy felt about all this !

6 injured in 'chaotic' fight outside funeral home: Police
.
Police received multiple reports around 1:30 p.m. MT of a fight and stabbing at a funeral home in downtown Salt Lake City, authorities said. "There was some sort of fight that broke out," Salt Lake City Police Department spokesperson Brent Weisberg said at a press briefing Tuesday afternoon, describing it as a "very chaotic scene."
The three others have injuries consistent with a stabbing, though their cause of injury also remains under investigation, Weisberg said. Several witnesses also called 911 to report a vehicle potentially involved in the incident that left the funeral home at a "high rate of speed," according to Weisberg. Officers stopped a vehicle matching the description several blocks away from the funeral home, police said. Two occupants were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries and have since been released, police said. They were not believed to have been stabbed or shot, police said.
A third occupant was detained for questioning, Weisberg said. A firearm was located inside the vehicle, according to Weisberg. Police are working to obtain a search warrant for the vehicle to collect the weapon, he said. Detectives are working to determine who was involved in the fight, Weisberg said, describing it as a "very complex investigation."
At this point, we have not been able to determine the motive for this nor have we been able to determine ... how many people were considered suspects or victims," Weisberg said. Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident, Weisberg said. There is not believed to be a threat to the community at this time, police said. "This type of incident is extraordinarily rare for our city," Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown said in a statement. "I know our detectives are working quickly to determine the motive for this incident, but I am relieved to know that based on the preliminary investigation this was not a random attack."

No additional details on those injured were immediately available.
