Brighton shotgun confrontation, allegations against a medical worker and BYU-Idaho rescinds an invite on ‘Behind the Headlines’
Salt Lake Tribune reporters go on the radio to discuss the week’s top stories.
(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Old Prospect Road, where a man threatened a snowboarder with a shotgun for allegedly entering his property near Brighton Ski Resort, on Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024.
A Utah skier allegedly took a shotgun butt to the ribs in a confrontation at Brighton. A Utah woman says she was touched inappropriately during a cosmetic procedure — the fourth to report the medical worker to police. And BYU-Idaho disinvites a music professor from speaking at a jazz festival after he aired his disbelief in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Salt Lake Tribune reporters Julie Jag, Jessica Miller and Peggy Fletcher Stack, along with news columnist Robert Gehrke, will join Utah Public Radio’s Tom Williams to talk about the week’s top stories.
Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at upr.org. Join the live conversation by email to upraccess@gmail.com or on X, formerly known as Twitter, @upraccess.
