SALT LAKE CITY - Police are searching for two suspects after a shooting left one man in critical condition.

Officers said they received multiple calls about gunshots and people screaming on just after 10 p.m.

Salt Lake City Police Lt. Dave Cracroft said a few people were trying to break into a home West Temple near Freemont Ave.

Cracroft said one of the people inside the home shot one of the people forcing their way into the house.
