A man allegedly attempting to steal a vehicle was shot and killed Friday by police officers after gunfire was exchanged multiple times during a pursuit in South Jordan.
The South Jordan Police Department said officers originally responded to a call of a vehicle theft just before 10:30 p.m. near 9400 South and 4600 West.
Once police located the suspect in the vehicle, he fired at officers, leading them to return fire before the man fled on foot.
The unidentified suspect was later found in the backyard of a South Jordan home where multiple agencies responded and gunfire was exchanged during a second interaction.
After being struck by gunfire, the man was transported to a local hospital where he later died.
