For almost eight minutes, the man talked with the mental health professionals as he sat on a bed in the corner of the cluttered space. The conversation is silenced in the footage.
The two videos show officers shoot and critically injure a man in the detached garage of a home near 1700 South and 900 East.
It’s unclear why the mobile crisis outreach team with Huntsman Mental Health Institute initially responded to the garage. At about 11:32 a.m., the team requested that police assist them as they made contact with the man inside.to provide standby assistance, police said. Once they arrived at the garage at about 11:40 a.m.
After the shots, the man falls to the ground. The two officers repeatedly shout at the man to put his hands on the bed, but the man replies by saying, “Dead, dead, dead,” and, “Can’t move.”The other replies, “I do not see the gun. I see his hands though.” But about 11 minutes and 16 seconds into the video, one officer finds what appears to be a firearm near where the man had landed on the floor. It is unclear if the apparent weapon was ever fired.“This incident is reflective of how a situation can turn dangerous with no warning,” Police Chief Mike Brown said in a statement Tuesday.
