A Salt Lake City police officer shot a boy Friday night while responding to a call reporting he was having a “psychological episode.”
Police were dispatched shortly after 10 p.m. to 500 South and Navajo Street for a call about a youth who was having a “mental episode ... and had made threats to some folks with a weapon,” Horrocks said.
The boy left the scene on foot, and police followed. During the pursuit, one officer fired his weapon, hitting the boy, Horrocks said. Officers provided aid until medics arrived. [so glad full service is provided after they shot them—snark off!]
As of Friday night, there was “no indication” that the boy had a weapon, but that was still under investigation, Horrocks said. Unquote

Update: interestingly, the trib left out - “...before an officer shot the boy multiple times.” Tho that stated, gofund has 45K in three days...
