6 hurt in downtown Salt Lake City club shooting

At least six people were shot when someone opened fire at a Salt Lake City club Saturday night.

A man was inside Inferno Cantina at 122 West Pierpont Ave. shortly before midnight when he fired multiple gunshots and then fled, said Det. Cody Lougy.

The suspect hopped into a stolen Cadillac CTS with at least one other person and tried to run over a security guard who then fired his own gun at the vehicle, Lougy said.

“This is a very scary situation. Scary for everybody involved,” Lougy said. “That club Inferno was packed with people, so you can imagine the panic in the room when the shots were being fired and people were going down.”

Six people were treated for minor to serious injuries. All of the victims are expected to survive.

The University of Utah placed its emergency room on lockdown while treating some of the victims.

Police found the stolen vehicle abandoned in an industrial area early Sunday morning.

Investigators hope surveillance video will help identify the suspect.

Police have not released a possible motive or relationship among any of the victims.
