Other shooting was being done in the neighborhood during the time the marshal was at the Sudweeks home. All medical care will be paid by Mr. Sudweeks, this arrangement having been made before the arrest was made. The child was treated at the Lehi hospital. The bullet entered the left hip from the rear penetrating the fleshy part and emerging from the front. The wound is not serious unless complications develop. |
