OGDEN — Callers pleaded with emergency dispatchers to quickly send rescue personnel to a campground near the Yuba Reservoir where Cameron Bryce Charlton, 17, of Hooper, was fatally shot early Monday morning, according to a 911 recording released by the Juab County Sheriff’s Office.

The Standard-Examiner obtained the recording, which lasts a little more than five minutes, through a state public records request.

The recording contains calls from three people, including an individual working for the Oasis campground, where the shooting was reported shortly before 3:30 a.m. Monday.
