According to APD’s press release, APD Special Operation’s Special Weapons and Tactics Unit — or SWAT — arrived on scene at 12:23 a.m. with the assistance of drones.
A press release update at 2:44 a.m. stated, “one person self-admitted to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and is reported to be in stable condition.”
In an email to The Northern Light, UPD Chief Jeff Earle mentioned UPD’s response to the shooting, “following this event and due to the suspect not being immediately apprehended, UPD and APD increased the number of officers in the area to be a continued visible deterrence and help reduce any concerns,” said Earle.
Earle said UPD and APD returned to normal operations at approximately 3:05 a.m.
No arrests have been made and the incident is still under investigation by APD.
