SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah police shot a man they said was using a crowbar to damage property and possibly break into homes near Salt Lake City early Monday morning.
The West Valley City Police Department received a call about a burglary in progress around 1:30 a.m., KUTV-TV reported.
According to police, neighbors said that a man had a metal object and was breaking windows.
Sometime after officers arrived, police said they used a Taser on the man. They then shot him.
“We had several officers show up on scene, encountered the male at some point who, like I said, had a metal object. They attempted to use some less-lethal force that was not successful and then, ultimately, shots were fired,” West Valley City Police Department Lt. Levi Lloyd told KSTU-TV.
