Salt Lake City police Chief Mike Brown is holding a Friday afternoon news conference regarding the fatal shooting of a man on Thursday by officers.
One person was killed by gunshots fired by police and two Salt Lake City police officers were injured — not by gunshots — after the man got hold of one officer’s baton, police have said.
The shooting occurred in the parking lot of a Maverik gas station at 300 South and 500 East on Thursday afternoon, police said.
At least one officer was injured after the man who was shot got hold of the officer’s baton and hit him on the head with it, according to a witness.
