SALT LAKE CITY — Charges will not be filed against a pair of Taylorsville officers who shot and injured a veteran threatening them with a knife while experiencing a mental health crisis in 2023.

On March 18, 2023, officers responded to 4400 South and 2200 West on reports that Boren was experiencing a mental health crisis. Video presented by Gill Friday showed officers following a trail of blood through the home until they encountered Boren in a closet, covered with a sheet. "Mr. Boren quickly sat up, popping up from underneath the bedding and rushed towards the officers, who had quickly begun backing up and yelling commands," Gill said."Mr. Boren grabbed the knife..."

Eventually, Boren sat up again and moved toward the officers again with the knife, which is when an officer shot him two more times with a handgun. Medical aid was immediately rendered and he was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for gunshot wounds and self-inflicted injuries, Gill said.Gill said now, more than a year later, Boren, who is a veteran, is getting resources and"thriving."
