HOOPER, Utah — Deputies are investigating after shots were fired at a residence in Hooper early Sunday morning.

According to a Monday afternoon press release from the Weber County Sheriff’s Office, deputies, along with officers from several different agencies, responded to the address at 2:43 a.m.

“Upon arrival, deputies observed several people fleeing the area,” the release stated.

Several people were detained, according to the release, while law enforcement began their investigation. During that time, deputies said several spent firearm casings were found in the roadway.
