Victim's son-in-law arrested and is in jail
OGDEN, Utah — James Evans is expected to recover after he was shot in the head June 16 while he and his wife were attending Mass at their home parish, St. James the Just in Ogden.
"He turned his head just at the right time. If he hadn't turned his head, he would have been hit in the back of the head and he would have been dead," said Tara Evans, his wife, during a June 17 news conference at McKay-Dee Hospital Center, where James Evans is recovering.
