3 dead, 1 rescued after gunman barricades himself in home near Salt Lake City following an apparent attempt at an intervention with the suspect over his mental health and guns, the Salt Lake County sheriff says.
A standoff that reached into its second day in suburban Salt Lake City ended Saturday with authorities entering a home and discovering three people, including the suspected gunman, dead of gunshot wounds, authorities said.
The three might be related, Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera indicated to reporters at the scene Saturday. Family members had apparently come to the residence in Millcreek, Utah, to conduct an intervention on the 30-year-old suspect over his mental health and firearms, she said.Even as the standoff got underway Friday, she said, two of the people were likely dead by midnight.
Responding law enforcement rescued the woman as they took fire, Rivera said. Deputies and officers did not return fire, she said, and no injuries were reported. As night fell, authorities tried to speak to the suspect, but he"ceased all negotiations," Rivera said.
