ST. GEORGE, Utah, May 3, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — St. George police and SWAT personnel responded to an apartment complex Sunday afternoon after someone reported receiving a video of an individual holding a gun, and there also was a call saying a gunshot was heard in the area.

St. George Police Public Information Officer Tiffany Atkin said officials are still on scene late Sunday afternoon at 825 E. Tabernacle, where a suspect has been taken into custody.
