Both men came upon the scene at the same time but couldn't see anyone near the car and realized that the officer must still be inside. "The vehicle was engulfed in smoke. I used my handkerchief to open the car's door," said Mr. Veibell. "The officer seemed dazed but responded when I spoke to him," he said. Mr. Veibell said, "I opened the door and the officer was slumped forward. I grabbed his arm and spoke to him. He said something, but I couldn't make out what he said." Meanwhile, Mr. Bryson told the officer his vehicle was on fire. Mr. Veibell pulled on the officer's arm. The injured officer swung his feet out of the car and stood up. "He staggered and fell face forward at my feet. I didn't know what the officer's condition was at that time," said Mr. Bryson. "I reached down to turn him over and saw blood on his arm and side where his gun was still in its holster. We rolled him over to see where he was hurt and Floyd said, 'He's been shot.' " They opened the officer's shirt to see where he was wounded. Behind them, the car burst into bigger flames. During this timing, emotions were split-secon- d Biq tertainment.

Grant Rid-do- n Mr. Veibell, his son Bryan, and Mr. Bryson picked up Officer Hobbs and took him to the other side of the freeway. All this happened within the first minute they were on the scene. "We determined that he had four bullet holes. One was in his upper left chest, another under his right arm, and another that went through his arm and out the other side," he said. After about 40 minutes of trying every available means to summon help, those at the scene loaded the officer into a passing fifth-whetrailer and drove into Snowville, a small town in Utah's Box Elder County. The convoy arrived at the town about 9:45 p.m. A helicopter came some 40 minutes after that to a truck stop parking lot where the group had formed a large circle with cars and trucks, shining their lights, and clearing debris from the area. An emergency medical technician who joined the efforts on rescue effort earlier continued the officer before the helicopter arrived.

Throughout 1990, the Directorate of Maintenance commitment to quality was reflected in its stated goal, "To have a total quality management program that exceeds our customer's expectations by providing quality products, on time, at the right price, in peace and war."

He remains in stable but serious condition. "As we were completing reports, the police told us that the suspect fled the scene after shooting the patrolman and then abandoned his car in a nearby rest stop. He fled on foot through the desert," said Mr. Bryson. The suspect, Shawn Kerrigan, 23, of Wisconsin, was caught Sunday by Idaho officials and charged with attempted murder. Reflecting on the incident, Mr. Bryson said he didn't worry about being injured himself from a possible explosion of the vehicle. "At a time like this, you do what is instinctive." He said that the combined efforts of many people came together to help the officer. They were John Cook, the EMT from Boise, who took over first aid responsibilities; a truck driver who put his load in jeopardy to shield those assisting the downed officer; Gerald Jeppson, a Thiokol employee, and his wife Jacque, a hospital employee, from Malad, Idatrailer to ho, who used their truck and fifth-whemove the victim to Snowville. They also cited several unidentified people who directed traffic. Mr. Veibell's daughter, Sherri, held the officer's head, offered constant reassurance and encouragement and applied resuscitation when the officer quit breathing. "It just seemed we had the right people at the right time for the situation," said Mr. Bryson.
