| Police
get call of possible gunshot and scream, but fireworks
likely to blame
By Devin Felix
April 23, 2007 | A Logan resident called police Sunday
night after hearing a loud noise she thought was a gunshot,
followed by a high-pitched scream, but police determined
the noise was likely caused by fireworks.
Logan City Police Department Officers Chris Kleven
and Cordell Hoth responded to the call at 387 S. 1200
West St. at about 11 p.m. and searched the area, public
information officer Louise Speth said. The officers
questioned a man in the area, who said he had also heard
the noise and seen a flash of light.
Police also questioned a third person in the area
who had heard the noise and suggested that someone had
probably lighted a bottle rocket. Neither person thought
the event was serious enough to call police. Speth said
the scream was likely from someone who was startled
by the loud noise. No evidence of guns or fireworks
was found and the case was declared inactive because
of a lack of evidence.
