TAYLORSVILLE, Utah — A suspect who had allegedly broken into a Taylorsville apartment late Sunday and stabbed a resident was shot and killed by police.
The Taylorsville Police Department said officers responded to the Callaway Apartments at 1141 West 3900 South after receiving a 911 call about a reported break-in just before 10:30 p.m.
According to the department, 23-year-old Tyler Wilson, who also lived at the apartment complex, had allegedly stabbed the victim multiple times after entering the unit.
When officers arrived at the scene, they fired at Wilson, killing him at the scene. It's not known whether Wilson threatened the officers before they opened fire; however, a witness told FOX 13 News that Wilson was warned to drop a weapon before police opened fire.
The 32-year-old victim was transported to the hospital in critical condition. As of Monday afternoon, he had been upgraded to stable condition.
The two officers who fired their weapons have been placed on administrative leave, per protocol.
