DA's office won't be filing charges against officer involved in shooting

555 Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill explained the use of deadly force by an officer during the pursuit of a robbery suspect on May 28, 2018. The DA's office will not be filing charges against the two officers. Officers Shepherd and Whitehead with the West Jordan Police Department both shot their guns after a 7-Eleven robbery. The suspect was killed after he allegedly robbed the convenience store, stole a police truck, hit civilian cars and brandished a handgun. Two shots were fired by officers and one bullet hit the suspect, Gill stated at the press conference. The DA also showed the officer's body cam footage from the incident, which shows the suspect brandishing a handgun. A citizen moved their vehicle in front of one of the officers to protect him from the suspect, Gill explained.
