Just after 8:00 a.m. on October 13, Uintah County Sheriff Deputy’s responded to a residence in the Sun Ridge subdivision in Maeser on the report of a shooting. When deputies arrived, they found two adult males in separate bedrooms who had sustained gunshot wounds. Both men were transported to an area hospital in critical condition, however they later died from their injuries.
Investigators learned that a 51-year-old male shot his 77-year-old father-in-law, then shot himself. Both men lived with three other adults, who were home at the time of the incident. Luckily, no one else was injured.
