NORTHERN UTAH â A deadly shooting in West Valley City Tuesday morning sustains a surge of almost daily gun violence in northern Utah.
Nine people shot and four men dead since Friday in separate shootings.
On Sunday night, two graduation parties ruined by gunfire: 19-year-old killed in West Jordan and 20-year-old killed and four others shot in Salt Lake City.
âSome of these things are predictable. We do know that crime goes up during the warmer weather months,â said retired deputy Chief of Police Chris Bertram.
