Utah police probing how teen got gun in shooting near school

SANDY, Utah (AP) — Utah police were investigating Wednesday how a 14-year-old got a gun allegedly used to critically wound another teenager after an argument near a middle school, a district spokesman said.

"The message we are sending is that this school is a safe place to be, even though a traumatic event did happen here yesterday," said Haney, who described the shooting as an isolated incident.

Cami Lance, whose daughter attends the school, said the shooting left both students and parents shaken — though she's also glad it wasn't a mass shooting.
