We will keep you updated with any new information. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Dozens of officers were on the scene in Midvale, from multiple agencies, include SWAT officers.

Race said U.S. Marshals are attempting to serve a federal warrant and asked a Salt Lake City SWAT team and officers from Unified PD to assist. Race said the marshalls were are leading the effort but asked her to inform the media about what is happening in the area of 7400 South and Main Street in Midvale.

People in the area who live near the incident should contact police to find out if they should shelter in place, evacuate or return to home, according to Race.

Law enforcement said it a “serious situation” but that it is under control. The suspect is alone in a residence in the area but Race could not provide details about who the wanted individual might be, if weapons are involved, what the nature of the suspected crimes are, or how long the encounter may take.
