DA won't charge Utah officer who said 'you're about to die' right before shooting man

The district attorney for Salt Lake County declined to file criminal charges against a Utah police officer who said, "You're about to die, my friend," seconds before fatally shooting a man.

Gill said under the current state law, Longman's use of force was justified, but he called video of the shooting "disturbing.".

And I can say that, do I feel morally comfortable in the way this ended up here?

“If we want different outcomes, which is not unreasonable for us to ask, then we need to change the law.”.

Breinholt's mother, Susan Neese, told NBC affiliate KSL of Salt Lake City that she’s still haunted by what happened to her son.

Breinholt was killed in the city's police station after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

When an officer tried to take the shoe, Breinholt twisted in his seat and grabbed Atkin's holstered weapon, according to the district attorney. »
