One person was found fatally shot Tuesday afternoon near 800 north and Redwood Road, near the southwest corner of Salt Lake City's Rose Park Neighborhood, according to a November 3 report. SWAT officers and negotiators arrived at the scene to address the situation involving a second person who retreated into an apartment.
Police responded to the scene at approximately 1:30 p.m. and attempted life-saving efforts on the individual found outside the apartment, Detective Michael Ruff of the Salt Lake City Police told Gephardt Daily.
Detective Ruff stated that investigators do not yet know the circumstances surrounding the death or whether the individual was shot or if the injury was self-inflicted. The investigation is currently in a holding pattern because a second individual remains inside the apartment where the deceased was located.
Negotiators and SWAT teams are working to bring the barricaded individual into custody so that the investigation into the death can proceed.
Redwood Road remains closed to traffic near the scene of the incident.
