One person is dead after a Friday afternoon police shooting in Ogden.
At about 3:50 p.m., police responded to a domestic violence call near 400 North and 600 East to find a male "engaged in a knife-wielding confrontation" with a female victim, said Ogden police Lt. Danielle Croyle. An officer "took the appropriate action to defuse the situation," killing the suspect, Croyle said.
The victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition, due to knife wounds, Croyle said. The lieutenant was unsure of the victim and suspect's relationship, except that they lived together.
No officers were injured.
The Weber County Homicide Task Force will conduct an independent investigation into the shooting. The officer involved is on administrative leave, pending the outcome.
Roads around the shooting were blocked off during the investigation.
