SALT LAKE CITY — Officers with the Salt Lake City Police Department are investigating a residential burglary that occurred Sunday in the East Liberty Park neighborhood.
Police say the incident occurred in the area of 1400 S. Lincoln Street just after 3:30 p.m.
Officers were initially informed that the suspect had a weapon.
As officers arrived, however, they found a “dynamic situation,” according to a SLCPD news release. The release states that several people were exiting the apartment.

Through their investigation, police say the suspect knew the individuals inside the apartment, but was unwelcome.
