A suspect is in custody after two people were shot during a South Ogden incident that began late Thursday in which police were fired upon in what was described as an ambush.
James Joseph Rios, 45, has been arrested and faces two charges of attempted murder.
The South Ogden Police Department said its officers were called to the area of 1300 East and 5800 South after reports of shots being fired in the area.
When officers arrived, they said they witnessed a woman running from the area, at which time several more shots were fired in her direction.
Following officers coming under “ambush fire” and calling for backup, which brought in police from surrounding jurisdictions and the Ogden Metro SWAT team, an exchange of gunfire occurred between Rios and a SWAT officer.
