VERNAL, Utah (AP) — A man is dead and a woman is injured from multiple gunshot wounds following a domestic violence incident in Utah.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports the Uintah County Sheriff’s Office says officers responded Saturday to reports of a family fight. The dispatch was soon updated to a “shots fired” incident.
Responding deputies found a woman in a neighbor’s residence who had been shot multiple times. Deputies were directed to a nearby residence where the shooter, a man, was believed to have fled. The man was discovered dead from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot.
Witnesses reported that a physical altercation between the man and woman had been audible from their residence.
The woman was transported to Ashley Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident is under investigation.
