SALT LAKE CITY — No injuries have been reported after a shootout occurred Thursday near a Salt Lake City homeless shelter.
Two men escaped the crime scene near 500 West and 300 South after firing 12-15 shots at one another at about 2:15 p.m. Thursday, Salt Lake City Lt. J.R. Nelson confirmed to KSL News.
The men were firing north and south about 170 feet away from one another while standing on the 500 West center median.
