(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Salt Lake District Attorney Sim Gill ruled that the Jan. 8, 2020 shooting of Tyler Webster by two Salt Lake City police officers is justified during a press conference at the DA's office, Friday, August 21, 2020. According to Gill, the encounter between police and Webster began over a stolen vehicle. Webster was accused of trying to flee from officers in a stolen vehicle by driving in reverse. Gill said Webster refused to leave the vehicle, even after one of the officers used a Taser to try to subdue him. Webster began revving the engine as evidence he intended to harm the officers.
