The Salt Lake County district attorney ruled Thursday that in two cases where officers shot suspects this year — one injuring a teenager near Hunter High School and the other a man acting “erratically” outside a Midvale McDonald’s — the use of deadly force was legally justified.
“These are nuanced and complicated situations,” said District Attorney Sim Gill. “In both scenarios, we gathered as much factual evidence as we could.”
In the earlier of the two cases, on March 20, Granite School District Officer Jonathan Sidhu approached a car full of teenagers parked near 4380 S.
