Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill on Wednesday determined that a Cottonwood Heights police officer was justified in shooting and wounding a teenage boy in September.
Body camera footage was released by Cottonwood Heights police in September from several officers involved in the shooting. One of the videos is taken from the perspective of the officer who shot the teen after repeatedly yelling commands for him to “drop the gun” and “get on the ground.”
Earlier, the teen was in a car that led police on a highway chase, where speeds on northbound Interstate 15 topped 100 mph at about 3:10 a.
