The suspect, Cody Evans, used two different modified Airsoft guns in his exchange with police officers. A statement from the Provo Police Department described the suspect’s death.
“Officers continued to issue commands that Evans stop and show his hands, which Evans ignored. Evans ran to his truck, opened the door, pulled out the AR-15 style weapon, and pointed it directly at officers. Fearing for their lives, officers engaged Evans with a total of three rounds from approximately 100 feet away. Evans passed away at the scene.”
