In Woods Cross, Utah, a road rage altercation escalated to gunfire on Legacy Parkway, where one car was targeted but fortunately resulted in no injuries. The confrontation unfolded in the southbound lanes near 500 South on a Saturday night, involving two vehicles. Following the shooting, authorities promptly shut down the affected portion of the parkway to facilitate an investigation and gather evidence. The assailant responsible for the shooting managed to escape the scene, prompting law enforcement to begin efforts to identify and locate the suspect's vehicle.

Behind Every Score: The Story of Viewmont High's 'Stat Man' and His Decades of Dedication

Viewmont High School recently celebrated the remarkable contributions of Jed Neilson, affectionately known as "Stat Man," who has dedicated 46 years to meticulously tracking the athletic achievements of its students. Despite never donning a sports uniform himself, Neilson has become an indispensable figure within the school's sports community, starting his unique journey at the age of 13 with church basketball. His passion for statistics led him to become an integral part of Viewmont High's sports, even extending his expertise to professional teams like the Utah Jazz and the University of Utah. Alongside his statistical work, Neilson also serves as a substitute teacher, fostering close relationships with students both on and off the court. His story is a testament to the impact of behind-the-scenes roles in the sports world and the value of dedication to one’s passions.
