CLINTON, Utah — Two people killed in an overnight shooting in Clinton early Thursday have been identified.

The Clinton Police Department said it and other agencies responded to reports of gunfire in the area of 2600 West 2250 North at around 1 a.m. and found that two men had been shot.

One of the men was discovered dead inside a home, while the other died after being transported to the hospital.

On Saturday, police identified Keith Miller, 40, and Jacob Pluim, 35, as those killed in the shooting. Miller was staying at a home where Pluim lived at the time of the shooting.

"I thought someone was rapping on my bedroom window, a really loud banging," said Louise Allred, who lives nearby. "I didn't register what happened, but shortly after I heard sirens and seconds later the police were outside."

Allred went into more detail about what she heard.

"I don't know if someone in the house had called or a neighbor had heard before I did, but then I heard another round of gunshots about 30 seconds after the first," said Allred. "Second round, maybe four and then the third was two or three.

"Just a very weird vibe on Thanksgiving of all days. It just feels very uneasy and we're all kind of shaken up.
