KEARNS, Utah, Aug. 24, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — A man was shot and killed by police during a domestic violence-related call early Thursday in Kearns.
Aaron Lee Zimmerman, 46, had a gun a little after midnight when he was shot by officers responding to a home near 6750 Palm Frond Court for the second time in about three hours on domestic violence-related calls, according to the Unified Police Department.
Police previously were called to the home about 9 p.m. Wednesday to investigate a verbal domestic violence incident, but no arrests were made, UPD stated in a news release.
When officers returned just after midnight on another domestic violence call, Zimmerman came out of the home with a gun and was fatally shot by police, the release says.
The three officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave while the Salt Lake City Police Department investigates the shooting.
