A Utah County car chase and shootout that injured two people on Wednesday started after police tried to pull over a man who had shot out his pickup truck window because he had locked himself out of the vehicle.
The man, 37-year-old Arturo Ray Gallemore-Jimenez, was in Nephi on Wednesday evening when he locked his keys inside his truck, according to Utah County Sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer Cannon. He apparently didn’t want help from some passersby who had stopped and offered to call the police to help him unlock the truck.
“It seemed that his primary reason for not wanting their help is that they wanted to call the police to come and get his keys out of his car,“ Cannon said.
