Police are investigating after they say a man opened fire in a Rose Park neighborhood of Salt Lake City, then held an elderly woman against her will for several hours.
Salt Lake City Police Department spokesman Brent Weisberg says they received a 911 call reporting a shooting at around 11:00 a.m. Sunday in the area of 1000 American Beauty Drive, leading to a search for the suspect by police officers and SWAT team members with several roads closed in the area.
As Tinajero ran away, the victim got in his car and followed him. That's when Tinajero pulled out his gun and fired three additional rounds before breaking into an elderly woman’s home near West Sterling Drive. While being kept inside the home, the victim said she offered Tinajero her deceased husband's clothes to get him to leave.
Several roads were closed as police attempted to locate the suspect, and those living or working in the area were advised to stay indoors. Around 2 p.m., police found Tinajero in the driveway and took him into custody.
