TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (AP) - Authorities in Taylorsville say a man is hospitalized in serious condition after being shot during a confrontation with neighbors.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports the man was kicked out of a child’s birthday party Saturday night for being intoxicated and allegedly carrying a gun.

Unified Police have not released the suspect’s name.

They say the party’s host asked the man to leave and he did not.

The man reportedly pointed his gun at some neighbors.

Police say an armed neighbor then shot the man.

They say the shooting is still under investigation, but police believe it was done in self-defense and the shooter hasn’t been arrested.
