The police of Utah warn residents against shooting at wandering clowns, reports the Lenta, referring to the Independent. 

The law enforcement agency has published a message in the Facebook, calling on the Americans to stop hysteria. According to them, they have to every day answer to dozens of questions on the phone and in the social networks about suspicious clowns. On August 30, residents of Greenville, the South Carolina, reported to the police about suspicious men dressed in clowns’ clothes, who convince and take children to the forest. In recent weeks, residents of other states - North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama – reported about visits of clowns as well.
