Deputies seek culprit

in shooting of horse

 

IVINS, Washington County
--Sheriff's deputies are look-
ing for whoever opened fire
on a horse in its corral, shoot-
ing it as many as 50 times.
     The horse was found dead
by its owner at its corral in
the Anasazi Valley near
Ivins, deputies said. The
owner came out to feed the
horse on Sunday and made
the gruesome discovery.
     "It's malicious," Washing-
ton County Sheriff's Lt. Jake
Adams said Wednesday.
     Deputies believe the horse
was shot 30 to 50 times with a
small caliber handgun.
     "We collected some evi-
dence there at the scene, but
we don't have any suspects at
this time," Adams said.
     Because of the isolated
area, deputies are asking if
anyone saw vehicles or peo-
ple in the area on Sept. 29 or
30 to report what they saw.
Anyone with information is
asked to call the Washington
County Sheriff's Office at 435-
656-6500.
