ROY — A man who police say was suicidal was shot and by killed by officers Tuesday.

The 35-year-old man, whose name was not released pending family notification, contacted a suicide hotline just after 4 a.m. Tuesday. Officers and later a SWAT team were dispatched to the home near 3700 West and 5300 South and attempted for several hours to negotiate with the man, Roy Police Lt. Matthew Gwynn said.

Gwynn did not specify why it was necessary to dispatch a SWAT team or whether the man, who was armed, had threatened officers.

The man was shot and killed about 11:15 a.m.

The shooting, which was labeled a possible "suicide by cop" case in a news release, will be investigated by the Weber County Attorney's Office. Police did not specify how many shots were fired or how many officers were placed on paid administrative leave, common protocol in an officer-involved shooting.

Police believe the man was living in the home, though they don't know how long he had been there, Gwynn said. Other people who were in the home when the original call was placed exited safely before the shooting.
