Man injured in drive-by shooting

Neighbors are hoping for answers and saying prayers of gratitude after a drive-by shooting near 800 West and 300 North in Salt Lake City.
Police say a 24-year-old man and his girlfriend were walking in the area early this morning when someone in a black truck opened fire, hitting the man in the leg. He's expected to be OK.
Maurice, who lives in the area, says, "We have things like that happen every once in a while." He says he's just grateful it was still dark outside, so children weren't at school down the street. He says, "That's what's scary about it. I've never heard of that, and I really don't like that going on, especially so close to a school."
Most of the houses are modest, but you see lots of bicycles and lawn chairs. Still, another resident says after dark, the difference is night and day. She says, "It probably sounds crazy, but this is the west side."
Police are still looking for four men, last seen driving a black truck and possibly wearing cowboy hats.
