With two people shot and killed by Utah officers this weekend — including a popular Glendale hip hop artist — 2018 is on track to be the state’s deadliest year for police shootings in recent memory.
Since January, police have shot at 24 people, killing 14. Only in 2014 and 2007 did police kill that many people, according to Salt Lake Tribune records dating back 15 years.
On Friday, police fired on men in Ogden and in Salt Lake City, killing both of them. They are the ninth and tenth people shot in the past month by police in Utah.
