A 16-year-old boy has been shot twice and critically wounded by another teenager when the two got into argument outside a junior school in a Salt Lake City suburb.
Police arrested a 14-year-old who they believe was the shooter, said Sandy police Sgt Dean Carriger.
The victim was taken by ambulance to a hospital and is in critical condition, Carriger said.
Nobody else was hurt, but dozens of students from Union Middle School in Sandy witnessed the shooting that occurred just as students were leaving school for the day , he said.
The suspected shooter is a student at the middle school. The victim is not, Carriger said.
