SOUTH JORDAN, Utah - A man armed with a shotgun outside a Mormon temple near Salt Lake City was shot and killed by police Christmas Day.

Fox13 says the man had been in an altercation with another man outside the Oquirrh Mountain Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in South Jordan.

When police arrived, they repeatedly ordered the shotgun-toting man to drop the weapon. When he refused, officers opened fire. It was not clear how many shots were fired by police.

The dead man wasn't immediately identified.

Police say they found more guns, ammunition and swords inside the man's car.
