A man is in critical condition after he was shot by an officer Wednesday following an alleged robbery at a Mexican restaurant in Kearns.
Unified Police Department detectives responded to Fiesta Olé, at 4098 W. 5415 South, on a robbery call at about 1 p.m. The suspect, who was armed, took off when he saw the officers, running to a nearby house, said UPD Sgt. Melody Gray.
Police confronted the man there, and he reportedly threatened them. Gray said she did not know whether the man had a weapon. One officer fired his gun, Gray said, hitting the man.
