ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Park Record A man shot his son in the leg during a family fight at their home in eastern Summit County early Friday morning, according to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. Lt. Andrew Wright, with the Sheriff’s Office, said dispatch received a call just after 7 a.m. about a domestic violence situation between family members that involved a gun at a home on Hoytsville Road. A 26-year-old man who lived in the home was allegedly intoxicated and had become combative with at least two younger siblings, Wright said. As the man continued to attack family members, his father unsuccessfully tried to intervene. At some point, Wright said, the man’s father grabbed a hand gun and shot the man in the upper calf. He said the man’s father immediately ran across the street to a neighbor’s house and urged them to call 911. COURTESY OF SUMMIT COUNTY’S SHERIFF’S OFFICE The Summit County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating a shooting that occurred early Friday morning at a home on Hoytsville Road. A man shot his 26-year-old son in the leg during a family fight. The injured man was transported to Park City Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Wright said. He was released Friday afternoon and arrested under suspicion of: child abuse, a second-degree felony; aggravated assault, a third-degree felony; assault, a class B misdemeanor; two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, both third-degree felonies; criminal mischief, a class B misdemeanor; and intoxication, a class C misdemeanor. The man’s father had not been arrested as of Friday at 3:30 p.m. Wright said the Sheriff’s Office is turning the case over to the county attorney for additional review. Wright was unsure whether the gun was permitted. But, he said, it is not unlawful for someone to possess guns in their homes, unless they are a restricted person. “At this point it is a matter of figuring out exactly what happened,” Wright said. “Deputies secured the weapon and are interviewing family members to determine if charges are appropriate or whether this was a case of self-defense.” A ‘miraculous’ survival Mini excavator rolls on top of man in Rockport Estates ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Park Record A 47-year-old Tooele man miraculously escaped serious injury Wednesday night after being pinned under a large piece of construction equipment for more than an hour in eastern Summit County, according to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident in Rockport Estates, west of S.R. 32 and adjacent to Rockport Reservoir, at 9:08 p.m. after dispatch received a report of an injured man. The Park City Fire District, North Summit Fire District and medical teams flown in on two AirMed helicopters from the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City were also on scene. Lt. Andrew Wright, with the Sheriff’s Office, said the man was using a mini excavator to build a retaining wall. He was moving cement blocks down a steep incline when the excavator began to roll, ejecting him and pinning him underneath the machinery. Emergency responders made several attempts to lift the excavator off of the man, using airbags As per district policy, Park City School District will be destroying special education records and 504 files of students that graduated or aged out in the 2014-2015 school year. and even the Jaws of Life to cut through the cab, Wright said, before a deputy suggested calling a tow company in Coalville. The tow company was eventually able to lower a cable down to the machinery and lift if off of the lower part of the man’s body without causing any further injury at around 10:35 p.m., Wright said. The man was able to move both of his legs once the excavator was removed. “Based off of the size of this equipment and the fact that he had been under there for hours, we were thinking the worst,” Wright said. “There was even a surgical team from AirMed that was brought in. But, once they lifted it, there wasn’t even any damage. They were all amazed. I was listening to the radio and heard a deputy say, ‘I cannot believe this. He is moving his legs.’” The man was still air lifted to a Salt Lake area hospital as a precaution, Wright said. But, he said, the man did not sustain internal damage, referring to his injuries as scrapes and bruises. “It was pretty miraculous,” he said. Law enforcement on scene attributed the man’s lack of injuries to soft soil from recent rains, Wright said. He added, “Maybe the ground was able to create a buffer around his body to lessen the impact.” Wright referred to the industri- YourParkCityAgent.com WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING “Sheila’s knowledge of the local properties was really helpful in determining what we offered.

He said based off of the amount of construction that occurs in the county, similar accidents are seemingly rare. “We get calls where someone falls from scaffolding or sustains an injury from a power tool,” said. “But, something significant like this doesn’t happen that often. For the most part, these people that do the construction work understand the terrain and what they are dealing with. We don’t typically see something like this.” PURCHASE TWO TAPAS & THE THIRD IS FREE MARKET CONDITIONS AND ALL THINGS REAL ESTATE SUSAN STEWART JUDY PERRY ASSOCIATE BROKER ASSOCIATE BROKER (435) 655-5767 Judy@PSRealEstateTeam.com (435) 901-4545 Susan@PSRealEstateTeam.com Whether you are buying or selling property, we would be happy to provide detailed information at no obligation. • BUYING?
