Upon arriving on the scene, officers observed broken glass at this business, and set up a perimeter on the building. During this time, officers reported that shots were fired.
Several local departments responded to the report of shots fired, including Wasatch County Sheriff, Utah State Parks, Utah Highway Patrol, Summit County Sheriff, US Forest Service, Park City Police Department, and the Summit/Wasatch SWAT Team.
