Hi Friends, To anyone in the group who hears the news that three Deseret News employees were severely injuried outside the newspaper's building, and wonders if I was one -- I wasn't outside at the time. I ran to the scene soon afterward. It is a terrible tragedy. A runaway Jeep pinned two of our people against the wall of Felt Electric, then backed over a third. One man's leg was nearly severed. We don't know the present condition of anyone but when they were taken to hospitals, two were in "delta" condition (meaning life-threatening) and the third was in "charlie" condition (a step better than life-threatening). We are shaken. Best wishes, Joe
