A woman was hospitalized with leg injuries after she and her husband were reportedly shot at with a BB gun.
The couple were walking north along Redwood Road when, about 5:15 p.m. Saturday, they heard popping sounds and "felt something hitting them" on the back, said police spokeswoman Roxeanne Vainuku. The couple were near 3200 South at the time.
The wife took off running while the husband turned around and saw an arm sticking out of a dark-colored sedan, possibly holding a weapon, Vainuku said. The husband told police that he also saw two to three males in their late teens or early 20s inside the car.
The woman suffered "penetrating wounds" to her legs from the pellets, Vainuku added.
The Unified Police Department had alerted officers to keep an eye out for a vehicle, with a similar description, concerning someone reportedly shooting a BB gun from the car.
Police are still looking for the suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call the West Valley City Police Department at 801-840-4000.
