BOUNTIFUL, Utah — Two men were shot as they stood near the intersection of 1300 East and 400 North in Bountiful on Sunday morning according to Bountiful police.

 

Bountiful dispatch reported they received a 911 call from someone claiming that two male gunshot victims had come to his residence looking for help.

Officers responded and found two men in their 20s with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. They are being treated at local hospitals.

Visitors to a Bountiful-specific Facebook page commented that they heard multiple gunshots. Some wondered if they were hearing fireworks, instead.
