Almost immediately after officers knocked on the door to room No. 408, it swung open hard and fast.
A man inside pushed his arms out first, waving a gun in circles. One woman saw the weapon and ducked down the hallway to get away. An officer started firing.
“He’s been hit in the head,” one officer says and he kicks the weapon — which was later determined to be a paintball gun. Another officer holds his shoulder while he curses. “I’ve been hit guys,” he shouts. “I’ve been hit.”
The Salt Lake City police department showed that body camera footage during a Friday news conference.
