SALT LAKE CITY A Wednesday night shooting left one man dead and another critically injured outside a Salt Lake convenience store as police continued searching for the gunman Thursday, police said.
Officers responded to 203 E. Hampton Avenue after receiving multiple 911 calls just before midnight, according to Salt Lake Police Lt. Victor Valencia. Police found two people had been shot, including one who died at the scene. The name of the deceased has not yet been released.
The other injured person was taken to the University of Utah Hospital in critical condition. He is expected to recover, police said.
THE THANK YOU PARKING LOT I don t think 2020 has been an easy year for any of us. We ve been cut off from loved ones, events have been canceled, jobs have been lost, mental and physical health and been affected and loved ones have been taken from us.
With all the difficulties, however, there has been a lot of good. We ve found new ways to connect, been able to spend more time at home and hopefully, some of our cooking has become better out of necessity.
Things have been difficult for our frontline workers, but they have also been one of those bright spots of 2020. Their sacrifice, dedication and work ethic to help all of those facing health issues is inspiring. Doctors and nurses have lost their lives as they combat this virus and they do it because this is what they have been trained for and they want to help.
SALT LAKE CITY Utah is expected to receive about 32,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses each week to close out 2020 following a miscommunication between the federal government and states receiving vaccine doses, according to a state health department spokesperson.
The state has already listed 25,000 doses shipped, according to a Utah Department of Health update on Tuesday. The new weekly estimate means that Utah will likely fall short of the 154,000 vaccine doses it had originally anticipated by the end of December.
Utah was among states that reported late last week that it didn t receive as many vaccine doses that it had estimated in the first week after the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was approved by federal regulators. U.S. Army Gen. Gustave Perna apologized for the gaffe over the weekend, calling the original estimate of vaccines to be distributed a miscommunication, the Associated Press reported.
