WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — A shooting in West Valley City left two victims seriously wounded Wednesday morning and forced several nearby schools to be placed on lockout protocol.
West Valley City Police said the shooting took place at 3860 Burningham Drive. They said two adult victims were taken to the hospital in serious condition, and one person was detained for questioning.
The Granite School District announced shortly before noon that the following schools would be under "secure protocol" due to the police activity:
- Taylorsville Elementary
- Fremont Elementary
- Granger Elementary
- Vista Elementary
- Plymouth Elementary
- Eisenhower Jr High
- West Lake Jr High STEM
- Granger High School
- Taylorsville High School
The protocol meant the exterior doors would be locked, but things would proceed as normal inside the schools.
The protocol was lifted by around 1 p.m.
A district spokesperson told FOX 13 News that the police activity is in an area near these schools, but not directly involving any of them. The protocol was enacted as a precaution, and the kids are all safe.
