Comments about ‘Layton officer shoots man who allegedly attacked him’

It is an open and shut case. The officer was justified in using deadly force and the shooting review board will so rule.

There are circumstances under which the use of a taser would be appropriate but this wasn't one of them.

I feel bad for all involved. the officer was forced to shoot a man, now, even though it may be justified, he will still have to live with it. also, the man who was shot and his family will also have to live with it.

I have a friend on a police force here in the Salt Lake City area who shot and killed a man who made the mistake of pointing a gun at him. He sleeps well at night and quickly put the shooting behind him.
