CNN posted the report by Boris Sanchez to Twitter.

"A line of police officers are standing in front of protesters" at the door of Trump rally. @Boris_Sanchez reports. https://t.co/Y9QyynO9NY — CNN Tonight (@CNNTonight) March 19, 2016

Sanchez said there was an unconfirmed claim that one of the protesters got inside.

Hundreds of Donald Trump supporters and protesters faced off outside the Infinity Event Center in Salt Lake City, Utah Friday night.

Sanchez reported the anti-Trump protesters were chanting, “Shut it down! Shut it down!”

Before the attempt to storm Trump’s speech, Sanchez had reported the interaction between the pro-Trump and anti-Trump crowds had “remained civil.”

UPDATE: NBC’s Jacob Rascon posted videos to Twitter of “intense” clashes between police and the anti-Trump protesters.
