SALT LAKE CITY — A 16-year-old male has been arrested after allegedly shooting another teen in the parking lot of West High School earlier this month.
The Salt Lake City Police Department said its gang unit made the arrest Wednesday.
On Nov. 7, a family member transported a 15-year-old to the hospital after they returned home injured. Following surgery, doctors confirmed the injury was consistent with a gunshot wound.
Detectives believe a group of teenagers gathered in the school parking lot at around 12:15 p.m. when at some point, the 16-year-old shot the other teen.
Police said the groups were familiar with each other and were engaged in an ongoing conflict.
