Utah Man Suspected of Shooting at Officer Found Dead After Standoff

February 22, 2016 |

A man suspected of shooting at a Murray, UT, police officer Sunday night has been found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The alleged shooter — whose name has yet to be released — was found dead in a basement bedroom of a Murray home just before 1 a.m. Monday.

SWAT teams were first dispatched to 584 W. Winchester Drive shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday when a man, initially thought to be a burglar or home invader, opened fire at the Murray officer who was responding to the call.

The officer was uninjured in the shooting, the Gephardt Daily reports.
