WEBER COUNTY, Utah — A man was left in critical condition, and two others were injured after a shooting early Sunday morning in an unincorporated part of Weber County.

In a press release sent out Sunday afternoon, the Weber County Sheriff's Office said the investigation began around 1:00 a.m. in the area of 9300 West 900 South. Initial reports to dispatch said a man had been shot, but as deputies were en route, they received reports of additional victims.

Once on scene, they found a large gathering of people, with multiple vehicles leaving the area. They then found a man in his early 20s with a gunshot wound to the head. He was transported by helicopter to a local hospital and remains in critical condition.

A second man sustained a gunshot wound to the shoulder, while a 5-year-old girl sustained a gunshot wound to her leg and hip. Both were taken to the hospital by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries.

The sheriff's office told FOX 13 News that they can't yet confirm whether the incident was connected to street racing. However, they said street racing has been known to take place in that area.

Police have not yet identified a suspect, and detectives have been speaking to all witnesses who were in the area. Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact the Weber County Sheriff's Office at 801-395-8221 and refer to case number 25WC3071.
