Layton police say the man who was shot to death Thursday when he allegedly forced his way into a home to confront his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend was an Idaho Falls police officer.
Blaine Reed, 35, went to a home near 300 W. Park Avenue at 6:45 p.m. on Thursday “to confront the homeowner about a relationship he believed the homeowner was having with his ex-girlfriend," according to Layton Lt. James Petre. Reed “entered the home uninvited, a physical altercation ensued between the two men, and the homeowner shot the man several times.”
Reed, who was found inside the home, was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
