UTA changes mind on 335, BRT delayed

Unofficial word from UTA is that the 335 "Magna Fast Bus" will not be canceled and the BRT line will be delayed until August. UTA may be considering keeping a regular bus running at all 100+ current stops of the 35 route, at the same time as BRT. Many riders had complained the BRT system would eliminate too many bus stops.

Argument leads to gunfire

Three men got into an argument after playing games in a Magna apartment. The man living in the apartment asked his friends to leave, and after they refused he brandished a pistol, which the visitors then took from the man, assaulted him and fired four shots into the air. The shots were heard around the neighborhood off Magna Main Street. The victim was taken to the hospital, and has since been released. An investigation is underway to determine the identity of the suspects.


A shooting occured Monday night just before 10 PM at this Apartment building off of 9000 West in Magna.
