OGDEN — Police have identified the man who was shot and killed in an exchange ofOgden Police Chief Eric Young identified the man as Brian Dee Simonton, 37, of Ogden.
Young said the officer asked Simonton to drop the weapon at least 10 times. Simonton didn't comply with the commands and ultimately fired the gun in the direction of the officer, according to the police chief. Young said he couldn't say for certain whether the injured officer was shot by Simonton. The Weber-Morgan Critical Incident Task Force will make a final determination, the chief said.He fell to the ground and "did not respond to commands to move away from a handgun which was still within his reach, and a police K-9 dog was deployed to pull Simonton out of reach of the handgun," Young said.
The woman who called police remained isolated inside her apartment away from Simonton, who never entered the premises.
