A man was fatally shot by Weber County Sheriff's deputies during a standoff at an apartment complex, authorities said.
Deputies responded Monday night when family members called 911 reporting a person threatening suicide and behaving erratically, possibly due to drug use, at a residence in the 2200 block of South 1100 West, according to a WCSO statement. "Upon arrival, deputies found a chaotic scene and began communicating with the individual, who was in possession of a weapon and had access to children in the home," according to the sheriff's office. "The situation escalated, resulting in two deputies firing shots and striking the individual."Deputies had successfully evacuated all other occupants from the apartment, and no other injuries were reported.
"No further information will be released at this time due to the ongoing investigation," the WBCSO stated. "We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and emphasize the availability of resources for anyone struggling with thoughts of self-harm."Dial or text 988 orUtah students can also talk or text with a counselor
