SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah Transit Authority police officer who shot a man holding a box cutter in downtown Salt Lake City in September was legally justified in using deadly force, the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office announced Friday.
When the officers caught up with him, they found Lovato was "swinging and waving a knife around in his right hand, walking in circles, yelling at them and being very aggressive," according to the report. He was "saying nonsensical things as well as '… kill me' and being very aggressive." The knife resembled an "industrial-style box cutter."
On Friday during a press conference to announce his findings, Gill showed surveillance video recorded from a nearby business that showed how quickly Lovato came around a corner and confronted the officers while moving briskly toward them.
