Shots Fired at County Building Department Vehicle

The Fremont County Board of Commissioners is asking the public for information in helping track down the person responsible for firing shots at a Fremont County pickup truck earlier this month. The incident happened November 1st along U.S. Highway 50 at Coaldale in western Fremont County. A Sheriff's report states that Fremont County Building Inspector Dan Brixey was conducting an inspection inside a home under construction with the contractor when they heard several gunshots. Five bullet strikes all landed in a small area of the driveway between the contractor's pickup and the County's building department pickup. The report said two of the contractors' employees who were at a picnic table near the driveway had to scramble to take cover when the shots were fired.

Anyone with information about the shooting incident is asked to call Fremont County Crimestoppers at 275-STOP. You could qualify for a reward if the responsible person is arrested and prosecuted in connection with the incident.
