A 37-year-old Millcreek man fired a rifle 19 times toward four Unified Police Department officers responding to a domestic violence call on Wednesday, Sept. 9. The details come from a booking affidavit reported by KSL.

The man was arrested that evening and faces four counts of aggravated assault and 11 counts of felony discharge of a firearm. All 15 counts are third-degree felonies. He had not been formally charged as of Thursday, Sept. 10, ABC4 reported.

As we reported Sept. 10, the incident triggered a reverse 911 shelter-in-place alert to residents within a three-mile radius.

The call that started it came from a woman who told Unified Police that a family member was "intoxicated and armed with a rifle" and that she feared for her life, according to ABC4. Officers responded to a residence on Lambourne Avenue near 2000 East and 3100 South.

The woman was able to leave the residence safely. While officers were still assessing the scene, they heard gunfire from the northwest side of the home, according to the affidavit as reported by Gephardt Daily.

One officer, identified only as Officer H, saw muzzle flash from the backyard and was struck in the face by debris from a fence the suspect was allegedly shooting through. Three other officers stood nearby in the line of fire.

No officers or bystanders were injured, Unified Police Sgt. Aymee Race said Sept. 9.

Investigators later recovered 19 spent 7.62 mm casings from the backyard. A 9mm handgun and .40-caliber ammunition were also found under a search warrant, according to the affidavit. Some rounds struck a residence across the street. Others hit nearby garbage cans.

After firing, the man allegedly fled on foot while still carrying the rifle. Dispatch received multiple calls from residents reporting gunfire and a man running with a weapon. A SWAT team was requested, and the shelter-in-place alert went out.

Before SWAT fully mobilized, an officer spotted the suspect near 3000 South and 1850 East. He still had the rifle with a magazine inserted and one round chambered. He obeyed commands to stop and drop the weapon. No officers fired a shot during the entire incident.

The man was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail and is being held without bail.

After his arrest, the suspect told investigators he had been suicidal and had fired toward officers in an attempt to get them to shoot and kill him, according to the affidavit. He allegedly said he did not intend to harm anyone. He also told investigators his suicidal thoughts had worsened since he was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations for unspecified felony offenses, KSL reported. Unified Police referred questions about that investigation to Homeland Security.
