A suburban Utah police department has released videos of five officers fatally shooting a man
In this image taken from from police body-worn camera video provided by the Farmington City, Utah, Police Department, police officers surround a vehicle during a traffic stop, Wednesday, March 1, 2023, in Farmington, Utah. The footage released by the suburban police department in Utah on Wednesday, Mach 8, 2023, shows five officers opening rounds of fire into all sides of a car after they can be heard alerting each other that the driver, 25-year-old Chase Allan, has a gun.
“I don't need registration and I don't answer questions,” Allan responds, at which point the officer calls for backup and tells Allan he's being detained. The edited police compilation video shown at Wednesday's news conference then pauses, and focuses on Allan's hand movement, which frees up the hand closest to a hip holster under his jacket. No firearm is visible in the holster or anywhere else in the footage at this point.
Farmington Police later released photos showing a handgun found on the floorboard of the vehicle. Edited excerpts of the footage released Wednesday show an empty holster on Allan's hip as his body is dragged from the car, and the handgun on the floorboard.
