Two Officers Wounded, Suspect Killed After Shootout in Utah

Well, not much right now. A woman may still be at large. Let's keep an eye on this. Seems just to be random.

Investigators were still trying to determine what led to the confrontation in Holladay, just south of Salt Lake City, Bell said. It happened Sunday morning after an officer stumbled onto a non-fatal traffic accident at 11:51 a.m. ET and discovered that two people had left the accident on foot.

Officers were then dispatched to search for the suspects, Bell said, adding: "The next thing that happens is one of our officers is shot." A second officer was also shot, as was the suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene, Bell said.

A resident told NBC station KSL that he heard a gunshot and saw an officer lying in the driveway; less than a minute later, he heard a barrage of gunfire. "Breathe, stay with us," a neighbor recalled hearing fellow officers telling their injured colleague.

Saddens me....

The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said Sunday that 31-year-old Cory Lee Henderson had a prior criminal record but did not go into further details.

Sheriff Jim Winder says Henderson was being sought by a gang task force and had a "propensity" for possession of weapons.

Authorities say Henderson fled the scene of a traffic accident and then fatally shot Unified police Officer Douglas Barney.

Career criminal, and I bet the weapon(s) were obtained illegally. ...

I live just up the street from this. In the two years we've been here we've seen a huge upswing in violent crimes. There not gang related just individuals that are broken. I had a stupid kid pull a gun on me last year thinkin he was a badass. I challenged him and luckily it was a bb gun. Two days later he was shot and killed in the street behind my house by someone that didn't ask questions.

Imo, More to it than that. We are subjected to official propaganda on many levels, the way people used to present on subjects like this seems to have evaporated. Either lots of people are driving official agendas or as a lot they are really shallow and frivolous.

Last year this was ten page thread, this year… 'ah well, dead cops, meh'.
