What began as a stolen car investigation earlier in the week ended with a police shooting in South Salt Lake Wednesday night.
American Fork officials told FOX 13 News they had been looking for a stolen car since Tuesday and eventually tracked it to an apartment complex near 700 West 3800 South in South Salt Lake around 8 p.m. Wednesday.
When they discovered the car, they found someone inside, who got out and ran away from officers at the scene, American Fork Police reported.
Ultimately, officers were chasing the individual when they fired shots at them. Further details on what led up to the shooting and why the situation escalated were not made available by police.
The suspect was taken to the hospital, and officials were unsure of their condition at the time.
No officers were injured in the incident and they were all placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. All of the involved officers were from the Utah County Major Crimes Unit and the American Fork Police Department.
