Story out of Salt Lake City, Utah:
An officer-involved shooting Saturday night sparked riots in the Rio Grande district of Salt Lake City.
The shooting happened around 8 p.m. near 250 S. Rio Grande St. and was followed by chaos as a large group of people began rioting, throwing rocks, hurling broken glass and screaming at police, according to witnesses.
For around an hour, a group of people on 200 South chanted vulgarities at police officers. Several people were taken into police custody and officers were warning people in the area that it was not safe.
A witness who spoke with 2News at the scene said the man who was shot by police had been involved in a fight and was holding a broom prior to being shot by police. Cont. (Video)
