SOUTH SALT LAKE — A man was shot in the leg Friday morning outside an apartment complex, 3687 S. West Temple.

Police were notified by St. Mark's Hospital that a man had been driven to the emergency room just before 8 a.m.

The shooting may be gang related, South Salt Lake police officer Darin Sweeten said. Investigators were having a hard time gathering information Friday because witnesses and the victim weren't being cooperative, he said.
