SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — A juvenile suspect is in custody following a shooting near 300 South and 100 West in Salt Lake City on Monday night.
Brent Weisberg with the Salt Lake City Police Department confirmed with ABC4.com that officers responded to reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, officers could not find any patients or suspects but did find “evidence of gunfire.”
Based on preliminary investigation, police believe a group of teenagers got into a fight just before 11:30 p.m. At some point during the fight, at least one individual pulled out a gun and began shooting.
