A 44-year-old Bluffdale woman was arrested after a fight with her husband — because she reported he had shot and killed her.
At 2:05 a.m. on Tuesday, Bluffdale police were contacted by another woman who said she had received texts from the husband’s cell phone number “stating he had shot his wife and didn’t know what to do,” according to a probable cause statement. The woman asked if he was serious, and “she received more text messages … confirming it wasn’t a joke” — that his wife was dead in their Bluffdale home.
Officers from the Saratoga Spring, Bluffdale, Herriman and Unified Police departments went to the home, surrounded it and called for the husband to come outside.
