Live feed here: kutv.com/watchPolice are still looking for a shooter, but declined to call it an active shooter situation. The man police are looking for has a tear drop and cross tattoo on his face and is an adult white male. He is said to be wearing black clothing and may be driving a dark green pick-up truck with Colorado plates. |

We're listening to the live feed/ police scanner. I used to live down the street from the frat houses. Most of my family stayed there. I came here. Brother went to the army and is finishing med school ath the hospital there.

A male international student, ChenWei from China was killed in a random act of violence. The 24 year old suspect is Austin Boutain. He is also a suspect in a murder in Golden, Colorado. It started out as a domestic violence call and then it was an attempted carjacking where the student was killed. His wife is in jail now for unrelated reasons. The murder in Colorado? I don't know. It was not specified. They believe they may have found the suspect's camp in the surrounding area (the foothills near the University of Utah campus). They have not found him yet.  ETA: Classes are canceled today. kutv.com/news/local/police-fatal-shooting-near-u-of-u-was-attempted-carjacking-after-domestic-violence |

I live fairly close to the area. Our neighborhood has decided to cancel Trick-or-Treating unless they find him by then. Helicopter flying over head, strong police presence, etc.

Police have caught the suspect. No details on that yet, but it is a relief to know he is in custody.

Actually a librarian at the SL City Library recognized him and called police. He was arrested without incident. "He was acting like anyone else in the library." Grateful he is in custody. Everyone was so confident that he was in the hills/mountains. Let Trick or Treating in our neighborhood commence.

UGH my friend just posted her daughter is good friends with the boy (the victim). I taught her daughter in Sunday School, before she went on her mission to China. That's how she knows the boy and his family! They are devestated! |

So glad the librarian recognized him and they got him into custody. I'm glad kids will be able to trick or treat tonight without worrying about him and classes can resume tomorrow. |

Now they are saying Chen Wei had a female passenger who was able to get away. They said he attempted to take her hostage. |
