SALT LAKE CITY — Two men allegedly shooting a pistol in the City Creek Canyon were arrested by police Monday afternoon.

Salt Lake police said two men, who appeared to have been consuming alcohol, were taken into custody after police followed a vehicle. Witnesses reported the men were shooting a pistol across trails in the canyon, though they were shooting randomly and not targeting people, according to a preliminary investigation.

Police followed a vehicle believed to be involved and then stopped it at 400 North Canyon Road, which is east of the Utah Capitol and above Memory Grove Park, and took the men into custody.

No injuries were reported.
