SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — South Jordan police issued a shelter-in-place at Bingham High School Monday night.
The order was issued as police chased a man believed to be involved in a hit-and-run crash and domestic violence case.
The situation started when West Jordan police received a call of a man assaulting a woman in a car near 2700 West and 9000 South. Because of heavy traffic, officers in the area followed the car but didn’t pursue the driver.
Minutes later, police learned that same car was involved in a hit-and-run crash at 10400 South and Redwood Road. They found the car believed to be involved in both incidents abandoned at 2200 West just south of 10400.
Later, 911 operators received a call about two suspicious men running through a neighborhood toward Bingham High School. That’s when police surrounded the high school and told band students on the football field to go inside.
Police chased the two men until they lost sight of one and the other jumped into the canal west of Redwood Road between 9800 South and 10400 South.
