Police are looking for people they say fired multiple gunshots toward two rock climbers in Little Cottonwood Canyon on Monday. No one was hurt.

Unified Police Lt. Brian Lohrke said Tuesday that no suspects had yet been identified in the incident, and it was uncertain if the shots were fired to scare the climbers, or with the intent of wounding them. The incident remained under investigation.

The shots were fired about 6 p.m. Monday. UPD canyon patrol officers responded and escorted the climbers to safety. Police found shell casings at the scene across Little Cottonwood Road near 5300 East, about 500 feet from where the two were climbing.

Climbers at the scene told police they could hear the bullets whizzing by, striking rocks around them, Lohrke said.

“One witness stated [that] a green passenger car with approximately three occupants could have been involved,” Lohrke said. “The vehicle left the canyon before officers arrived.”

Anyone with information about the shooting, who may have seen or heard anything around that time, is asked to contact UPD at 801-743-7000.
