One man has been killed, another wounded in Kearns shooting

One man is dead and another has been wounded in a shooting at a Kearns home on Wednesday morning.

According to Unified Police, gunshots were reported by neighbors near a home in the area of 4800 South and 4700 West about 7:30 a.m. When officers arrived, they discovered a man dead on the ground outside the home and “additional blood inside of the home,” said UPD Sgt. Melody Gray.

Police were notified that a second man who had suffered a gunshot wound had arrived at a emergency clinic seeking treatment; he was transported to Intermountain Medical Center in serious condition. Police said the second man was wounded at the same home where the dead man was found.

Neither man’s name has been released.

“We don't know what led to the shooting. We don't know, at this time, who did it or why,” Gray said.

One man was taken into custody and is being questioned. “We don’t know what his involvement was, if any," Gray said.

Six other people who were inside the home are also being questioned.
