Details about the officers' interactions with the individual, whether that person was armed, and what prompted the shooting were not released Monday.

Horrocks said he did not know exactly where the incident took place and whether it was inside or outside. The officers' body-worn cameras were likely turned on, he said, and any footage would be released within 10 days in accordance with Salt Lake City policy.
