WEST VALLEY CITY — Police were looking for three people connected to a shooting and attempted robbery of a hair salon Friday afternoon.
A woman was shot about 2:30 p.m. during an attempted robbery at the African Braiding Salon and Hair Supply, 3580 S Redwood, said West Valley Police Sgt. Carson Liljenquist.
A man and two women entered the salon brandishing a gun and demanded money. At some point, a 40-year-old woman was shot. She was hospitalized with injuries not considered to be life-threatening, Liljenquist said.
The sergeant did not know if she was a customer or an employee at the salon. He did not have any other details about what led to the shooting.
