WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — One person was shot, as was the suspect, after reports of an "active shooter" at the Utah State Liquor & Wine Store in Taylorsville.
The Taylorsville Police Department said it received a 911 call from someone outside the store just after 2:15 p.m. Officers arrived at the store at 4455 South 2700 West within one minute.
However, when police arrived, the alleged suspect had already been shot by an officer with the Utah Highway Patrol trooper who was already inside the store. Both the victim and the shooter were transported to the hospital in stable condition, while the officer was not injured.
According to police, the suspect allegedly chased the victim inside the store and began shooting.
"DABS cares deeply about our employees and we are grateful no one was harmed," wrote the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services. "We appreciate law enforcement and are cooperating with the investigation."
Several police vehicles, as well as police tape, are still visible at the location. The shattered glass on the front door of the liquor store can also be seen.
The store will remain closed until further notice.
As the incident involved a Taylorsville police officer, the Salt Lake City Police Department is now handling the investigation.
