A 33-year-old man named Fuluula Moroni Fuli was arrested early Thursday morning after police say he fired a gun multiple times into the air while driving away from a fight in Stansbury Park. Security footage showed Fuli fighting with a woman in a driveway before returning to his vehicle and firing the shots.

Why it matters

This incident highlights the dangers of domestic violence situations escalating to involve firearms, especially when the perpetrator is legally prohibited from possessing guns. It also raises concerns about public safety when guns are discharged recklessly in residential areas.

The details

According to a police affidavit, Fuli was seen on security footage fighting with a woman in a Stansbury Park driveway, hitting her and dragging her by the arm. Fuli then got into his vehicle, shouted at the victim, and said "watch this" before firing multiple shots from a 9mm gun into the air as he drove away. Police later found three 9mm shell casings in the area. Fuli has previously been reported for trespassing at the home where the fight occurred and is identified as a "category one restricted person", meaning he is not legally allowed to possess firearms.

  • The incident occurred on Wednesday night in Stansbury Park.
  • Fuli was arrested by the Taylorsville Police Department early Thursday morning.

The takeaway

Reckless discharging of firearms in residential areas also poses a serious threat to public safety that must be addressed.
