ROY — A man is dead after pointing a gun at and being shot by Roy police officers, officials said.
Roy police officers responded to the Orchard Cove apartment complex at 1801 W. 4650 South on Friday evening on a report of a 39-year-old suicidal man with a firearm, according to a news release from the Roy Police Department.
Officers evacuated the apartment complex and nearby public areas "due to the danger presented," said the release, which went on to say that the man was "presenting a significant threat to the general public and officers on scene."
After negotiating for approximately three hours, the man — whose name was not released — "presented a firearm in a threatening manner" and shots were fired by two involved officers.
The man was pronounced deceased on the scene, said Roy Police Sgt. Josh Taylor.
"The officer-involved critical incident protocol was activated and the investigation was turned over to the Weber County Attorney's Office," said the release.
