At 12:21 a.m. Utah time, Incident Command received a call from a citizen in the area of Lost Spring, a subdivision north of the Arizona-Utah state line near Kanab. The caller advised that a suspicious person was trying to get into his home. He was awakened by his dogs barking, looked out of his window and saw a person with a rifle slung over his shoulder.
