Police said they have identified and made contact with the six teens involved in a shooting that took place in the parking lot of Taylorsville High School Thursday.
Sgt. Jeff Smith with the Taylorsville Police Department told KSL-TV that detectives are interviewing the teens, who went to the parking lot Thursday at approximately 12:30 p.m. to "settle a beef." Smith could not elaborate on what the dispute was about, but said detectives were trying to determine if the teen who fired the gun was shooting it at another student, or if the teen fired the weapon in the air in an attempt to scare someone.
The Granite School District is requesting $12 million from the state to enhance security on campuses. "It's not a metal detector. It's not like TSA at the airport; it will be two towers you walk through," Horsley said. "It identifies density and size and shape of objects that could be weapons." Horsley said the problem was with a third-party vendor's server responsible for emergency alerts and emails, which he calls unacceptable. So Friday, the district decided to cut out the middle man and create a landing page for emergency information.
