Police said Monday a Santaquin man was despondent over marital and financial problems before he pointed a shotgun at officers who then shot and killed him.

A standoff with Michael J. Batchelor, 33, began just before 9 p.m. Sunday and lasted for more than 90 minutes at his home in the 200 East block of 200 North, according to Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard.

Batchelor was upset that his wife, who filed for divorce last week, had left the home with their three children that night, Howard said. Batchelor then sent her a cell phone text message that read, "I love you and goodbye."

After receiving the message, Batchelor's wife called his sister, who went to the home to check on her brother, Howard said. When she and a neighbor arrived, the doors of the home were locked. The pair called police when they heard a gunshot, Howard said, and police arrived at 8:52 p.m.

A patrol officer and a sergeant were looking through the windows of the home when they heard a crash, Howard said. The pair kicked in the front door to see if Batchelor was hurt and needed help.

Inside, the officers took cover, Howard said. The sergeant could see Batchelor hiding at the end of a hallway and waving a shotgun, Howard said. Batchelor told the police it wasn't going to end well.

"I'm going to do this or you're going to do it for me," Batchelor shouted at the officers, according to Howard.

Utah Metro SWAT team members arrived at the home about 20 minutes later and joined Santaquin police. Although police continued to try to talk with Batchelor, he would only yell at them to leave, Howard said. Police tried sending a phone into the home, but Batchelor ignored it, Howard said.

At 10:20 p.m., Batchelor stopped yelling, according to Howard. About 20 minutes later he came out of a back room in the home, down a hall and into the living room, pointing the shotgun at officers through the home's open front door.

Batchelor refused to drop the weapon after being asked several times to put it down, Howard said. SWAT team members then fired two shots, killing him, Howard said.

Batchelor was arrested on April 5 by Santaquin police for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and interfering with an arrest, according to Utah County jail records. Court documents also show that his wife filed for divorce on April 14 and that the pair had a history of tax liens and debt collections.

The couple had been married for about 13 years, and had three children, ages 10, seven and five years old. Batchelor's wife was asking for custody of the children, as well as their Santaquin home. She also asked that Batchelor pay all debts from the marriage.

The Utah County Attorney's Office shooting review board is looking into the use of deadly force by police. The SWAT members who fired were placed on paid administrative leave pending the investigation, Howard said.
