The question is, does someone not like Wonder Bread or was a gun lover firing where he should not have been?
On Saturday, Sept. 22, at 5 a.m., a Nephi man had the window of his delivery vehicle shot as he traveled on a road in Sanpete County.
Rex Hermansen, was driving his Wonder Bread truck in Sanpete County when one of his windows was shattered by a bullet.
A spokesperson, who preferred to remain anonymous, said she was relaying information from a press release for the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office.
She said that at 5 a.m., a Sanpete County Deputy responded to the report that a vehicle had been shot at.
“The vehicle was traveling southbound on State Road 89 near the Axtell Junction when the passenger side window was shattered,” said the spokesperson.
“Upon further investigation, it appeared that a bullet had entered the passenger side window area and traveled to the driver’s side striking the seat approximately four-inches behind the driver,” the spokesperson said.
The incident is still under investigation and anyone with any information concerning the incident is asked to call the sheriff’s office at (435) 623-2191.
