SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah has issued a campus alert telling students and employees to “shelter in place” after a person was shot Monday night.

Steph Curry to the head?   Oh, wait, yikes, gunshot wound.

[EagleMountainUte]

Suspect description matches the shooter in Layton drug deal. With just one dead I think it is another drug deal gone bad. 

[Utahute72]

So it sounds like the shooting took place at the closed gate to Red Butte area. Victim was shot in a vehicle. So you’re probably right.

[EagleMountainUte]

Consequences of Rio Grande it is pushing the criminal activity out of that area.
Victim is from China it was a carjacking gone wrong.

[ladyinred]

This is exactly the case according to slcpd. They also don’t have sufficient personnel to respond to the increased criminal activity.

Terrible that this useless POS dirtbag can in just seconds eliminate the life of this innocent guy, CS student and interpreter according to sltrib. Very sad.

Career criminal can’t lock them up until they eventually murder someone.

Classess cancelled today.  From Pres Pershing:

To our campus community,

It is with great sadness that I must tell you that on Monday evening, ChenWei Guo, one of our international students, was killed in a senseless, random act of violence.

We have cancelled classes today in respect of ChenWei and the impact this violent event has had on our campus community. ChenWei was a pre-computer science major with a promising future and worked as a peer advisor in our International Student and Scholar Services Office. 

We have been in contact with ChenWei’s family in China and they are understandably devastated by the loss of their son. We are working to bring them to Utah as soon as possible and will offer them all the assistance we can.

At this point, here is what we understand took place last night. ChenWei was parked near the gate in Red Butte Canyon when the suspect fatally shot him while attempting to hijack his vehicle.

Chief Dale Brophy and the University’s Department of Public Safety are confident that our campus is secure. I want to thank Chief Brophy and his team, the Salt Lake City Police, Unified Police, West Valley City Police, South Salt Lake Police, Cottonwood Heights Police, West Jordan Police, Utah Highway Patrol, FBI and all the other law enforcement agencies that responded last night as this tragedy unfolded and continue to work to locate this individual and take him into custody.

While classes have been cancelled today, campus services will remain open. The Counseling Center is prepared to support students with additional staffing, and Human Resources has arranged for the Employee Assistance Program to help with counseling for staff and faculty. 

We will share more information online as it becomes available.

Yea, we should have just fenced it in and created a mini “Escape from New York” situation.

Instead McAdams and Biskoupski just put them in vans and dispersed them throughout northern Utah.

[RedLine]

Reads like an over simplification of the failed War on Drugs.  You can’t “fence in” a solution to bigger problem. Richard Nixon went all in on that effort and failed.  Until we as a nation admit supply/demand won’t end and that resulting violence is a by product of the continued the cat and mouse game, any policy decision is just a game of time waiting for more innocent deaths to occur in one way or another. 

[EagleMountainUte]

The steps being taken at Rio Grande are not Nixon era drug war policies. Funny how we keep saying do something different. Salt Lake was doing that for years offering treatment endlessly not arresting drug dealers or addicts. It turned Rio Grande into an absolute cesspool. Failed policies on both sides are to blame for the current situation. I believe doing something works. 

[RedLine]

Rio Grande steps were steps within the cat and mouse game. Nothing in policy changed at Rio Grande. Unfortunatly, it was Nixon era drug policy using a differnt formula that didn’t work then and doesn’t work now. Well, I guess privatization of prisons and lobbying for max term sentences is working now for some financially but that doesn’t fix the problem or change supply and demand elements continuing to effect all of the nation.  Rio Grande was short time test in futility of the bigger problem.

So what’s the answer?

Legalization of just pot in both Washington and Colorado have led to a dramatic increase in driving under the influence and accidental dosing of kids. My niece adopted an at risk newborn and it took months to detox the child from the mother’s abuse.

[Sasquatch]

Please cite this claim that there has been a “dramatic increase in driving under the influence and accidental dosing of kids”. Also, what kind of symptoms was this newborn exhibiting that would indicate the mother had been using a form of marijuana? This sounds like a carry over from the reefer madness generation.
