SALT LAKE CITY — Two people died Sunday afternoon in a shooting at their workplace on the west side of Salt Lake City.
The SLC Police Department said the shooting happened at 1678 S. Pioneer Road, which is the home of Varex Imaging, a company that develops and manufactures X-ray imaging components. They received a 911 call around 2:30 p.m., reporting that there was a man with a gun at the business.
Police responded to the scene, located just west of I-215, where they found one man dead inside the "complex" and another outside. A gun was found near the body of the man who was outside.
No further details about the shooting were immediately available, but SLCPD assured the public that there is no threat nor outstanding suspect, and this was not an active shooter situation.
"At this point, our homicide squad is on-scene and they are working, trying to determine a motive for what may have led to this shooting," said SLCPD spokesman Brent Weisberg.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the department at 801-799-3000 and reference case 24-48513.
“The psychological trauma experienced by witnesses of workplace violence can have a very significant and lasting impact,” SLCPD Chief Mike Brown said in a statement. “Our victim advocates and social workers will be available to help any of the employees impacted by this shooting as our detectives are working to determine a motive.”
