Navada Escholt fired at three officers, police said. He later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said that officer Abel Bromley reasonably believed — as outlined in Utah law — that he and other officers were in imminent danger after the man,Bromley fired a single shot back, which did not strike Escholt. Escholt, 42, fatally shot himself soon after, according to Gill’s finding letter.
Dunn called Escholt’s wife and asked her if she could try to talk to Escholt. He said officers didn’t want to force their way inside and make the situation worse. Officers learned he died later after they sent a police robot into the house and found Escholt in a bedroom. Gill said officials could do more to make sure people with mental health needs get adequate treatment, and police could receive more training for situations involving people experiencing such crises.
