Police shot and killed a 38-year-old Herriman man Sunday after he fired a rifle at policer officers, who returned fire and killed him.

At about 3:45 p.m., the man called police and said he was thinking of harming himself. Police also received a report of gunshots at a home near 13000 South and 5100 West. According to Herriman police, the man was experiencing a mental health crisis, and he fired a rifle multiple times inside his home.

Police issued a shelter in place order for nearby residents and tried to convince the man to put down the rifle, come out of the home and surrender. According to the Herriman Police Department, SWAT team members “showed restraint in an effort to reach a peaceful resolution.” But at about 9:15 p.m., police were trying to evacuate people from nearby residences when the man “broke windows out of his residence and fired” at officers “multiple times.” SWAT team members returned fire, killing the man.

Sunday’s shooting marked the 17th police shooting in Utah so far this year, according to a database maintained by The Salt Lake Tribune.
