One man is dead and a South Salt Lake police officer is fighting for his life after a burglary turned into a confrontation between police and two suspects.
According to SSLPD public information officer Gary Keller, a call of a burglary in progress at a business complex at 3575 S. West Temple came in at 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Officers arrived nine minutes later, and “at that point, there was a confrontation between the suspects and our officers.”
“Police fired shots at the vehicle, striking one of the suspects,” said Keller.
