A South Jordan police officer was in fair condition Friday, recovering from a six-hour operation to repair damage from a gunshot wound in the leg.

South Jordan police Lt. Matt Evans said Officer Stevan Gerber was "tired and of course in a lot of pain," but otherwise facing what could be a long recovery with "good spirits."

The prognosis for his return to duty was undetermined as of Friday, the day after he was shot while taking part in a joint law enforcement agency raid on an apartment in nearby South Salt Lake.

"They still need to figure out the extent of any nerve damage," Evans said after visiting the officer, who came out of surgery Thursday afternoon at Intermountain Medical Center.

Gerber was part of a U.S. Marshals-led Joint Criminal Apprehension Team serving an arrest warrant on an apartment near 3100 South and 300 East just before 1 a.m. Thursday. As Gerber and other officers forced entry, two shots were fired from inside the apartment, with one of the bullets striking Gerber in the leg.

JCAT officers did not return fire, but quickly took two men — Troy Cabibi, 29, an alleged parole violator who was the subject of the warrant, and Bradley Boatright-Olmos, 18 — into custody.

Utah Department of Corrections records show Cabibi had been sentenced to one to 15 years for manslaughter in the 1998 shooting death of Arcides Saldigan, 21, in the parking lot of a Midvale convenience store. Cabibi was paroled in July 2009.

The arrest warrant JCAT was serving stemmed from substance-abuse allegations.

Both Cabibi and Boatright-Olmos remained in the Salt Lake County jail on Friday, booked on suspicion of attempted aggravated homicide related to the shooting of Gerber.
