KEARNS, Utah (ABC4) – Officers responded to a report that a car had crashed into multiple fences in Kearns, Sunday.
According to Unified Police Detective Ken Hansen, the incident started near 5000 South Heath Avenue with an argument between a couple who were in a car. During the argument, “the man pulled out a gun and fired into the floor of the car, and threatened to kill himself.”
