Lindon
Police believe a 54-year-old man shot and killed himself Saturday at a Lindon gun range.
Lt. Clark Nielson said Harvey Taylor, 54, Salt Lake, shot himself in the chest with a .40 caliber handgun at about 2:30 p.m. at the practice range at A.F. Gun and Sport.
A Pleasant Grove police officer was at the range when Taylor shot himself. The officer, who works part-time at A.F. Gun, immediately called for emergency medical help and attempted to assist Taylor.
Nielson said emergency crews arrived two minutes after the call was made. A helicopter ambulance was sent to the scene but did not transport Taylor because he was in full cardiac arrest.
Taylor's wound was self-inflicted, but police do not know if it was accidental, Nielson said.
Orem
An Orem paramedic was injured Friday when he was struck in the arm by an apple that was thrown at an ambulance responding to a call for emergency medical help.
Orem Police Lt. Doug Edwards said Wayne Fish was driving the ambulance at about 400 S. 400 West when he was struck.
Edwards said the apple entered through the open window on the driver's side. The siren and lights of the ambulance were activated at the time.
"He was able to maintain control of the rescue unit and went on to the accident and took the elderly patient to the hospital before being checked out himself for the bruising and swelling that was developing in his shoulder," Edwards said.
Paramedics told police a dark-colored car passed the ambulance shortly before Fish was struck. It's also possible the apple was fired from a potato cannon, Edwards said.
Anyone with information is urged to call police at 229-7079.
