The Ogden Police Department described an incident Tuesday morning where a suspect was fatally shot by police after they reportedly shot at officers after fleeing in a stolen vehicle.
Jake Sube, Deputy Chief of Police for the Ogden Police Department, explained the incident happened at 1:27 a.m. near the 100 block of 25th Street on reports that a person had a gun. Multiple officers responded to the scene"due to the seriousness of the situation," Sube said.
"Upon the officers' arrival...the driver of the suspect vehicle got out and began to fire a weapon at two officers who had not been able to get out of their vehicles," Sube said."One of the officers was able to make his way out of his vehicle and return fire." "We are extremely relieved that none of the officers were injured during this dangerous encounter," Sube said."Their commitment to their duty and their ability to respond quickly and rapidly in an evolving situation is commendable."
Last Tuesday, Ogden Police Officers went to serve a protective order at an apartment complex when a 37-year-old man opened fire on the officers.
