OGDEN Police say an Ogden man tried to kill two people by shooting his brother and attempting to strangle his sister-in-law.
Colton Gene Shepard, 21, approached his sister-in-law at a park in Ogden on Feb. 10 to talk to her, but “became upset and began striking her in the face with an open hand and closed fist multiple times,” according to charging documents. He then allegedly attempted to strangle her.
After the woman got out of the car to get away, Shepard came up from behind her and put a lanyard around her neck and choked her, according to the charges.
