Provo police were investigating a Friday night shooting that sent a 22-year-old man to the hospital with serious injuries.
The man was shot once in the chest during the shooting that took place about 6:40 p.m. inside a house near 100 S. 600 West, Provo police Sgt. Brian Taylor said.
The man ran to a neighbor's home for help, and was transported to Utah Valley Hospital. He was being monitored closely Friday night, but it appeared he was going to survive, Taylor said on Saturday.
Police questioned three people who had gathered at the home and eventually arrested another 22-year-old on suspicion of attempted murder. The two others were fully cooperative and told the same story of what had occurred.
Taylor said detectives believe the alleged shooter became upset when he saw the victim tinkering with the magazine of the shooter's pistol. The same pistol, which police recovered at the scene, was then used to shoot the victim, the sergeant said.
Taylor said police were continuing to investigate the details of what led to the shooting.
