Early this morning between the hours of 3:00 and 4:00 am, there were multiple gunshots heard around Salina. So far, one vehicle was identified as being shot along with multiple stop signs. A home window was also shot with what appeared to be a BB gun.
There was an officer on duty at the time of this incident and he was attempting to locate the source. Shortly after hearing the gunshots, it was again reported that shots were heard in the Aurora area where the suspect was seen shooting stop signs. The Salina officer went to Aurora to see if he could locate the vehicle but was unable to locate it.
Today, officers have been gathering surveillance video and have multiple vehicles that we are trying to identify. Officers have also been speaking with multiple witnesses who heard the gunshots that are being investigated.
If you heard the gunshots or have further information, please contact the Salina City Police Department.
Call Public Safety Dispatch at 435-896-6471.
Thank you for your assistance in this incident

📢 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT – Ride with a C.O.P. (Coming Soon!)

North Sevier m, get ready!

We’re excited to announce an upcoming opportunity to ride ATVs, SXSs, and dirt bikes with your local police department — Ride with a C.O.P.

Officer P. George, who is helping organize this event, has some military obligations coming up, so finalized details (date, time, location) are still to be determined. We wanted to give everyone a heads-up so you can start preparing now.

What you can do right now:
✅ Get your dirt bike, SXS, or ATV serviced and trail-ready
✅ Gather your proper PPE (helmet, goggles, boots, gloves, etc.)
✅ Remember: All Utah state, county, and local laws will be enforced — so prepare accordingly (registration, titling, mufflers, spark arrestors, age requirements, etc.)

Stay tuned — we’ll release the full details once Officer George’s schedule is confirmed. This event will take place in the upcoming weeks, so don’t wait to get ready!

Thank you for your patience and support. 🇺🇸

Let’s ride together, safely with our community and the Salina City Police Department!

I think we kicked the hornets' nest last night. "Fugitive" was a success—but it wouldn't have been possible without everyone involved.

Thank you to the community for being so patient with the participants, especially the residents who sat on their porches and lawns, offering tips and setting off their car alarms to help locate the Fugitives. We appreciate our "concerned citizens"!

Thank you to all the Fugitives (including our Richfield friends who showed up) for coming out to have some innocent fun!

Thank you to the Seekers, who did a phenomenal job tracking down the Fugitives!

Thank you to the parents for allowing your children to take part in the shenanigans!

Thank you to the Class of 2026 for making time to come out and have some fun on your special day!

Please feel free to leave your comments, concerns, and emotional outbursts in the comment section.
