SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Unrest broke out in a Salt Lake City neighborhood on Saturday night after what appears to be a shooting involving a police officer, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
The shooting happened about 8:15 p.m. near downtown, the paper said. Selam Mohammad told the Tribune (http://bit.ly/1Qce9DU ) that a police officer shot a 16-year-old boy who was his friend.
Mohammad told the Tribune that the victim and a man were in a confrontation, and the victim was holding part of a broomstick at his side when officers ran up.
"They told him to put it down, once," Mohammad said, and "started shooting him as soon as he turned around."
