This is a developing story. ABC4 will update this post as new information becomes available.

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — One person is in custody after an officer-involved shooting in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area on Saturday night. There is no active threat to the public.

The Kane County Sheriff’s Office reportedly issued an alert for a “potentially dangerous suspect,” after which law enforcement rangers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle on Highway 89, according to the National Park Service.

“During an attempt to stop the subject, the subject drove their vehicle into the patrol vehicle and rangers subsequently discharged their firearms,” NPS said in a Sunday press release.

The incident occurred near the junction to the Lone Rock Beach Campground road around 8 p.m. on May 3, officials said.

The park service said no rangers were seriously injured. The suspect was treated at an Arizona hospital before being released with non-critical injuries. As of Sunday evening, the suspect was in custody.

Officials said a joint investigation into the incident is underway, with Kane County, the NPS, and the FBI investigating.

There is no further information at this time.
