Body camera footage shows a Salt Lake City police officer shot twice as a fleeing man broke through a glass door into an occupied office building

Body camera footage released Wednesday by the Salt Lake City Police Department shows an officer fired twice at a man who had fled police, moments after the man shot through the door of an occupied office building in early September.

Police found the man they were chasing, 35-year-old Michael Zahn, inside the building about 25 minutes later. He was dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police officials released the footage of the Sept. 5 confrontation under a mayoral order that requires the release of body camera footage 10 business days after a police shooting.
