WEST JORDAN — A woman is in fair condition after she was accidentally shot by a family member while in a car they were both traveling in, police say.
Two women were traveling to a Taylorsville pawn shop to sell a gun. The 33-year-old female passenger sitting in the back seat was manipulating the gun and accidentally discharged it, shooting the 53-year-old front passenger in the back, according to Unified Police officer Jared Richardson.
The 53-year-old woman suffered minor, non-life threatening injuries, Richardson said.
Investigators are still in the final stages of their investigation, but Richardson said all signs point to the shooting being accidental.
