SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 30, 2022 (Gephardt Daily) — Police say a 57-year-old woman is in critical but stable condition following a shooting outside a Salt Lake City duplex late Thursday night.
The alleged shooter was found dead Friday morning inside the duplex near 800 E. Princeton Ave., according to Salt Lake City police.
The investigation began at about 11:45 p.m. when a local hospital asked for SLCPD’s help investigating the circumstances of a woman with a gunshot wound that initially was considered life-threatening, police said.
During the investigation, officers learned a family member found the woman on the ground bleeding inside a duplex near Princeton Avenue and Lake Street. The family member called 911, and paramedics took the woman to the hospital, police said.
Police learned a resident in the duplex’s other unit may be a suspect in the shooting and attempted several times to contact the man, according to a news release from SLCPD.
A SWAT team was called in to execute a search warrant on the duplex and found the man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
The injured and deceased duplex residents knew each other, the release states.
