SLCPD Investigating Shooting along Folsom Avenue, 1 Person InjuredSALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department is investigating a shooting that injured a 34-year-old man. This investigation started at 4:41 a.m. on Saturday, December 16, 2023, when SLC911 received calls about a shooting that just occurred near 900 West Folsom Avenue.
