“Based on the preliminary investigation, a SLCPD officer conducted a traffic stop at 1:41 a.m. on Thursday, January 9, 2025, near 375 South 765 West.
“During the investigation, Grillone, who was not involved in the traffic stop, approached the officer on scene.

“The suspect confronted, challenged, and attacked the SLCPD officer.
“During the incident, the SLCPD officer fired at least one round.
“Because the investigation is ongoing, the SLCPD cannot provide any additional details about the weapon Grillone had.
“However, the SLCPD can now confirm that the officer involved in this incident received an injury consistent with a sharp-edged object.
“The officer’s injury is not considered life-threatening.”
It was originally reported the suspect was the only one injured in the confrontation.
