WEST JORDAN — What appeared to be a fight between a couple turned into a much more serious shooting after an armed neighbor apparently tried to intervene.
Police say a they were called to the shooting at about 1 a.m. A man was arguing with his girlfriend in a car just outside the Woodgate apartment complex at 3581 W. Cobble Ridge Drive.
As the argument got more heated, a man walking his dog passed by, saw the argument, and asked the female if she needed help, according to West Jordan officer J.C. Holt.
An ensuing argument between the two men quickly turned into a fight.
"It was apparent that there was quite a physical altercation between these two," Holt said.
The man walking his dog was armed with a handgun, and at some point during the fight the gun "came into play" and discharged, striking the other man in the hip, according to Holt. He said that the bullet just missed the femoral artery.

LBJ should have meditated on that one......
Around the same time as you I was a young deputy in West TX. Got a call to an address we were all to familiar with, they were regulars. I walk in and she’s bleeding from the mouth and the nose, he’s got blood on his hands. I took him down and was putting the cuffs on him, she sticks a 4 inch kitchen knife into my left lung. He got 90 days in county she got 3 years in the state.
Wow! Stupid women. I will never understand women like that....nor feel too sorry for them when they go back to the abusive guy. (Yeah, I know Dr. Phil says there are psychological reasons for doing so, but in my eyes that is all Bravo Sierra)
What you did was right. And more people should do likewise
