Suspect Gets Shot by Ogden Police After Opening Fire on Officers

* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Ogden, Utah — On June 6, 2023, at around 3:25 p.m. multiple 911 calls were placed into Weber Area Dispatch. The callers were requesting a police officer to respond on not only the report of a protective order violation in progress, but that the suspect 37-year-old Brian Simonton was threatening others in the area and refusing to leave. During the 911 call, Simonton’s ex-wife told the operator that she had a protective order against Simonton and he had shown up at her apartment trying to leave his dog with her. The ex-wife told the operator that Simonton was known to carry guns. She said she was scared of how he’d handle being confronted by police. When the first officer arrived, he found Simonton wandering the parking lot with a weapon in his right hand. That officer immediately called for back-up, and ordered Simonton to drop the weapon 17 times. A shootout ensued between officers and Simonton resulting in the officer being shot in the arm. As the officer was retreating to safety neighbors had come outside. “Get in the house. Get in the house,” the officer said to the neighbors. Back up officers cornered Simonton and he refused to drop his weapon. In the continuing gun fight Simonton was fatally shot and died on the scene. Officers recovered .45-caliber revolver next to his body, along with five empty shell casings. Investigators believe he was trying to reload, as there was live ammunition also found near his body. Police said he had been convicted of multiple domestic violence incidents and had two active protective orders against him. The officer who was shot in the arm was rushed to the hospital and was released the next day. The incident is still under investigation by the Weber County Force Investigation Team which is on going. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - Marcus Hauland - Brant Eaton - ’General X’ - ’jadeennff’ - Armando Renteria - Scott Moody - James Pringle - ’’ - ’Savage Training Group’ - Brandi Summers - Meighan Garrick - Michele Duckson - ’BoJassim’ - ’Sopaul’ - ’Tavia S’ - Michael Mortimer - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - Paul Rohrbaugh - Nash Martin - ’Necko’ - Gerardo Flores - Richard Vannieuwenhuyse - ’DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse’ - ’Roman1983’ - Anthony Eufemio - ’Donkbot’ - Gage Kissinger - Alex F - Eian Smith - ’HelloDarknessMyOldFriend’ - ’coco Coco’ - ’The Chocolate Thief’ - Joe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us at BuyMeACoffee: Support us on Patreon: Follow us on Twitter: 🛍️ Check out our Amazon store: 🛍️ Disclosure: Please note that we will receive a small commission from purchases made through our Amazon store.
