Salt Lake City Police released bodycam from the August 31 officer-involved shooting of Dallas Clint Fowers, 37. The call came in at 8:30 p.m. to the Burger King at 575 East 400 South after a man hit a car and was screaming in the street.
Officers found him near the drive-through three minutes later and ordered him to sit down. He refused, then brandished a knife at officers and ignored repeated commands to drop it. An officer fired a Taser with four probes. It did nothing.
Fowers ran east toward 600 East, went around a patrol car, and kept the knife out as he entered an occupied parking lot near Café Zupas. Affidavit paperwork says people were in his path. Two officers fired and struck him.
He was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No officers or bystanders were hurt. Fowers was later charged with assault on a police officer and related counts. Unified Police Protocol Team 2 is investigating.
