Unified Police hunt two suspects in gang-related drive-by shooting

Police were looking for two suspects in a weekend drive-by shooting in Kearns that put one teenage boy in the hospital.

Unified Police detectives say a group of teens were walking west along 6200 South when a car pulled up, one of the suspects got out and then fired several shots. A 17-year-old boy was wounded in the leg.

The gunman jumped back into the vehicle, a tan Chevrolet Impala with a temporary license placard, and sped from the scene.

Neighbors reportedly rushed out and offered first aid until police arrived.

The victim’s injury was not believed life-threatening. No one else was hurt.

UPD was investigating the incident as gang-related.
