SALT LAKE CITY A West Valley police officer who shot and killed an armed parole fugitive while working with the U.S. Marshals apprehension team was justified in using deadly force, but a second officer was not legally justified when he also fired his weapon during the incident.
Those conclusions came from the Salt Lake County District Attorney s Office and were announced Friday.
District Attorney Sim Gill said Friday that his office cannot yet determine whether to file a criminal charge against that second West Valley police officer because he doesn t have enough information. We are ruling his shooting to be unjustified, Gill said during a press conference to announce his findings, adding that he has no context to explain why Sgt. Jason Vincent fired his weapon.
