Salt Lake City police swarmed a downtown hotel area early Monday after a pre-dawn shooting near the SpringHill Suites left one person injured. Officers quickly blocked off the immediate surroundings, began talking with witnesses, and started processing the scene. Authorities stressed there was no ongoing threat to the public.
What police say
According to FOX 13 News, the Salt Lake City Police Department said the gunfire happened inside or near the SpringHill Suites and appeared to be an "isolated incident" involving two people who already knew each other. The station reported that police have not yet released the condition of the injured person or what led up to the confrontation. FOX 13's Jeff Tavss provided the initial breaking coverage from the scene.
Where it happened
The SpringHill Suites downtown lists its address as 625 South 300 West, according to its hotel page on Marriott.com. That street number differs slightly from the one in early police descriptions, suggesting the incident may have taken place on or near the edge of the property rather than in a public common area. Investigators have not released any additional timeline details or a possible motive.
