Glass pane shot out in new Salt Lake high-rise

SALT LAKE CITY — A large pane of glass was shot at and shattered sometime Thursday night at one of downtown Salt Lake City's newest high-rise buildings.

A 6-by-20-foot piece of glass was shattered at 222 S. Main when it was shot by either a BB gun or something stronger, said Salt Lake police detective Dennis McGowan. The incident happened sometime Thursday night or early Friday morning.

Employees arriving at work at about 10 a.m. discovered the broken glass, even though the building provides 24-hour security. The guard that night said he wasn't aware of the shattered glass and didn't know anything about it until employees told him, McGowan said.

The cost to replace the glass will be $8,000 to $10,000, McGowan said.

A week ago, several windows at the nearby Wells Fargo Building, 299 S. Main, also were vandalized.
