TOOELE, Utah, July 9, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — Tooele police are searching for a person they believe was a witness to an accidental shooting that left a 14 year old in critical condition earlier this month.

Tooele City Police spokesman Sgt. Jeremy Hansen told Gephardt Daily the shooting was first reported about 1 p.m. July 1 in the area of Mobile Avenue (400 South) and American Way (650 West).

The 14 year old was transported to an area hospital by ground ambulance with a gunshot wound to the neck.
