Suspect who killed officer had arrests warrants

During that encounter, Cory Lee Henderson was shot and killed.

The violence began when officers from the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake responded to a traffic accident and began to search for two suspects who had fled.

Less than three minutes later, when officers encountered a man walking near the auto accident and shooting, another officer was shot multiple times. “At this point she is just being held for leaving the scene of an accident”, Bell said.

The status of the injured suspect and if the suspect was also taken to a hospital was not immediately known. When an officer grabbed his wrist, Snyder “immediately pulled away and punched a police officer straight in the face”, according to a Salt Lake County Jail report. Officer Jon Richey is in stable condition, police said.

The brother of a suspect who was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police in Holladay Sunday was arrested after he and the suspect’s mother allegedly drove to the scene of the shooting and got into an altercation with police at that scene. On behalf of Utah residents from across the state, our hearts are broken for the family of Officer Doug Barney who gave the ultimate sacrifice today while in the line of duty.

Police say Richey is hospitalized but his condition has improved.

Barney, who has worked as a school resource officer, battled cancer for several years, according to a 2010 KSL-TV story about a dodgeball fundraiser held at a local school.

A veteran Unified police officer and another man were shot and killed in a shootout following a crash in a Holladay neighborhood Sunday.

Sheriff Jim Winder said at a press conference Sunday that Barney was the “loving father” of three children, the Deseret News reports.

The officer then deployed a Taser, striking Snyder in the chest but failing to stun him.
