CLEARFIELD, Utah — Police say they have arrested two suspects who shot a man in the foot and fled from the scene in Clearfield Sunday afternoon.

At 1:30 p.m. Sunday, officials received word of shots fired in the area of 530 South State Street at the Clearfield Plaza Apartments.

Responding officers found a vehicle with "several bullet holes" at the scene and additionally talked with witnesses who saw the shooting unfold.

Shortly after arriving, officers detained three people who were "reportedly involved in the incident," officials explained.

Police initially asked the public to help them find a man who was shot in the foot. They said they'd like to check his welfare and interview him as part of the investigation.
