an attack on a witness during a trial in federal court
in Salt Lake City.
The FBI said 25-year-old Siale Angilau died Monday
at a hospital.
The agency says Angilau was shot in
the chest as he rushed the witness with a pen in an
aggressive, threatening manner.
Authorities said Angilau, who had not been
restrained in the courtroom, was shot several times
in front of a jury that had been selected on Friday.
Angilau was one of 17 people named in a 29-count
racketeering indictment filed in 2010 accusing
gang members of assault, conspiracy, robbery and
weapons offenses.
