Cops mistakenly shoot dead a man holding a gun in his backyard while searching for suspect who fled a traffic stop
Due to the information that the suspect may be armed, and a prior history of violence when interacting with police officers, law enforcement personnel entered the location with their service weapons drawn,' according to the release.

Officers heard yelling and approached the backyard where they encountered a man wearing a black shirt armed with a firearm. They ordered the man to drop his weapon.

'We do not currently have the answers as to what exactly occurred during these moments,' said Chief Johnson. 'We do know that during this interaction, an Idaho Falls Police Officer discharged his service weapon firing one shot which struck the man.
Law enforcement later determined that the deceased man was not the suspect but was the resident of the home. He was the same person an officer had spoken to earlier about the manhunt.

Shortly after the shooting, a deputy reported seeing a man running through the area. Officers and deputies tracked this man to a nearby home, where he was found hiding in a shed in the backyard.

Interesting that downtown Columbus was not taken over last night by protesters demanding justice for this dead man. Wonder why that is? Something about not fitting the proper narrative, maybe? :roll:
