Roy man calls suicide hotline, killed after SWAT standoff

[jakeXT]

OY — A 35-year-old Roy man is dead following a standoff with police at his home Tuesday morning.

At about 4 a.m., officers were dispatched to 3779 W. 5300 South to check on a man who had called a suicide hotline, according to Detective Matt Gwynn, the public information officer for Roy Police Department. A negotiator from the SWAT team was then brought in, and Gwynn says a 6- to 6 ½-hour standoff ensued.

“At some point those negotiations failed and unfortunately the SWAT team was involved in a shooting, and the subject is now deceased,” Gwynn said.

The shots were fired at about 11:15 a.m., according to Gwynn. He said he doesn’t know if the man fired a shot, or even how many shots were fired.

3. Unbelievable

“It’s unfortunate the way this case ended,” Gwynn said. “We encourage those having suicidal thoughts or tendencies to contact a physician or expert that can talk them through it. In this particular case he attempted to do that — it’s unfortunate and sad that it failed.”

It failed because you assholes shot him. So next time, call your doctor or another expert. These cops wanted to go home after all, they were over their shifts.
