It was reported that around 9:40 p.m., the two law enforcement officers responded to a call about a man with a gun at the Cedar Mountain Mobile Home Community. This community is located at 925 West 1st St. in Craig, as stated in a joint news release from both departments.
Upon arrival at the scene, the officers encountered a man who was holding a handgun.
