A man armed with a rifle was arrested Wednesday, Sept. 9, in Millcreek after allegedly firing shots at Unified Police Department officers, triggering a shelter-in-place alert for the surrounding neighborhood.

Gephardt Daily first reported that UPD officers responded about 8 p.m. to the vicinity of 1900 E. Lambourne Ave. for a reported domestic violence incident. UPD Sgt. Amyee Race told the outlet that information gathered during interviews indicated the call could also involve a suicidal subject.

No one was injured, Race told Gephardt Daily.

Officers pulled back from the area and deployed drones once the nature of the call became clearer. Police then heard gunfire they believed was directed at them.

"The man left the area and was taken into custody a few blocks away about 30 minutes after the initial call," Race said, according to the outlet. He was armed with a rifle.

Police issued a reverse 911 alert directing nearby residents to shelter in place. The containment zone was later reduced to the vicinity of the residence where the incident began.

SLCScanner, a Salt Lake City public-safety monitoring account, posted about the unfolding response on X:

@SLCScanner: "#Breaking 1935 E Lambourne Ave — Multiple agencies including SWAT on scene and still responding to a intoxicated male with a rifle. Reports indicate when Police arrived. The suspect fired shots, and an officer advised that the suspect shot at officers. No injuries were reported."

Officers canvassed nearby homes Wednesday night, speaking with residents to determine where the fired rounds may have landed, Race told Gephardt Daily.

Several agencies joined the response. The Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) sent a helicopter, and the UPD SWAT team responded, though the SWAT team did not fully deploy.

The suspect's identity and potential charges had not been released as of Wednesday night. No response from the suspect or a representative has appeared in public records. The investigation is ongoing.
