Dispatcher: "He's shooting? Okay, he's heading towards the pd on 1500 north. Art henderson- he's firing at these guys!...are you guys okay? Do you need an ambulance?"
Ten seconds later, the dispatcher asks the question again.
Dispatcher: "Are you guys injured? Are you there? Can you hear me?....hello? Can you hear me? I don't have anybody- I don't have anybody on the phone."
The phone disconnects.
Another caller says what Craig Tremble couldn't.

Minutes later, another frantic call from a woman named Betty Jo. She says the man who's been shot is in her house.

The dispatcher asks about Art Henderson, the suspected shooter.

Henderson then shoots.
The dashcam video shows an officer pulling up to help, but quickly retreating.
"AJ 22, get a perimeter, he's shooting at me, it's Art Henderson."
One by one, the dashcam video shows police move across the screen towards Henderson, rifles raised, as they attempt to gain control of a potentially deadly situation.
Another caller fills in what happened next.
Caller: "Oh, good god. Oh, good god. They shot him in the road!

He was to appear in court on Monday for that, but he'll now be facing attempted murder.
Craig Tremble, the boyfriend, is in critical condition at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
