SALT LAKE CITY — The son of one of the men killed by gunfire in the parking lot of a church meetinghouse in Salt Lake City on Wednesday said his dad exemplified Christ-like love.
Vaea Tulikihihifo Jr. was a father of 12, with one son, David Tulikihihifo, currently serving a mission in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I love you dad, thank you for being the perfect embodiment of Christlike love !!”…
