Salt Lake City police said they received a report at around 6 p.m. of an attempted carjacking in the area that was unsuccessful, but the man had allegedly stolen a car after the first attempt.

No officers were injured, officials said. SLCPD has invoked its officer-involved critical incident protocol and protocol teams are investigating the shooting.
