Excerpts:
"Police arrested a man who they say stole a company pickup truck Friday and cited an employee who allegedly tried to stop the robber from getting away by firing a gun at it.
...
"As the employees confronted the suspected thief, he hurriedly backed the vehicle out, striking a BMW, said Salt Lake Police Sgt. Shawn Josephson. One of the employees then attempted to stop the vehicle by pulling out a handgun and firing at the tires.
...
"Steve Gibson, 38, was arrested for investigation of theft and outstanding warrants. The employee who fired the shots was cited for unlawful discharge of a firearm."
