WEST VALLEY, Utah — We are now learning where the gun in that shooting outside Hunter High School last week came from, and that all students involved attended Hunter.

West Valley Police report the gun was bought in Utah in 2013, but they still don’t know how the suspect actually got the gun.

Two teenage boys died in the shooting, and a third was shot. Ephraim Asiata is still hospitalized, but his condition is improving. 

Police are still trying to figure out what prompted the fight that lead to the shooting.

Prosecutors earlier this week said they were considering trying the 14-year-old suspect as an adult when the case gets to a courtroom.

This story is developing and will be updated.

We want to hear from you.
