The woman accused of shooting two employees at the Triad Center last week faces five felony charges.
De-Kieu Duy, 24, made her first appearance in 3rd District Court Thursday morning. Her next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 28 before Judge Stephen L. Henriod.Prosecutors charged Duy with three counts of attempted aggravated murder, a first-degree felony, and two counts of aggravated assault, a third-degree felony.
Duy remains in the Salt Lake County Jail in lieu of $1 million bail.
Prosecutors charged Duy with attempted aggravated murder because she attempted "to kill one or more persons and/or knowingly created a great risk of death to a person other than the victim," the charges state.
Authorities believe Duy rode the bus to the Triad Center with a gun and a grocery bag full of bullets the afternoon of Jan. 14. She stormed the building trying to get into KSL's newsroom, police said.
After opening fire in KSL's lobby, prosecutors say she moved to the building's fourth floor and shot AT&T employee Anne Sleater in the head. Sleater remained in critical condition Thursday at LDS Hospital.
AT&T employee Ben Porter was in a portion of the office not open to the public when Sleater was shot, according to court documents. He told investigators he heard a gunshot and saw someone standing in the doorway of Sleater's office.
The woman pointed the gun at Sleater and shot her in the head, he said. The woman then pointed the gun at Porter, but he wrestled the weapon away from her, ending the shooting spree, the charges state.
KSL building manager Brent Wightman was shot twice but sustained only minor injuries. Prosecutors say Duy also shot at employees Travis Neuman and Mary Kammeyer but missed.
Duy believed a certain employee at KSL was harassing her and was trying to gain access to the newsroom to shoot the employee, police allege. The court documents did not indicate who the employee was.
Duy has a history of mental problems and at times "hears voices," her mother, Khanh Duy, said last week. Duy also has a criminal record that includes disorderly conduct and interfering with an arrest.
