Two Utah Deputies Shot Outside Sheriff's Building
2021-04-12
[BREITBART] Two Salt Lake County Sheriff’s deputies were shot Saturday morning while "performing routine perimeter security" outside the Sheriff’s Office Building.The Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office noted "a deputy was shot and is at death's door while the second deputy was shot and in serious, but stable condition."

KARK reports the shooting suspect was a 30-year-old male whom the deputies came upon while doing their security checks.

Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Riveria said, "This individual may have been on the grass. We don’t know if he was asleep or not, but something occurred to get their attention to go talk with him. And then it happened very quickly where there was an encounter and shots were fired."

At least one of the deputies returned fire, killing the suspect.

#2  "...suspect was a 30-year-old male..."

Being the usual very obscure description of the attempted murderer ....I dug.

The gunman was identified as Joshua Michael Johnson, 31 a white long hair male that was said to be "homeless" but was really in a Court ordered Drug Treatment facility.?

His Utah court records show he repeated convicted Felon and a number misdemeanor offenses. Dating back to 2004 (He started when he was 15) that I quickly found.

Utah court records reveal he was a fugitive having left his court ordered residential Drug treatment program for the 3rd time without permission. A clear violation of his Felony level probation. A judge had revoked Johnson’s probation earlier that day.
His Offender #: 211531

NOTE: What likely set this off was...While at the treatment facility. It was reported he had received a phone call from his mom, telling him his stimulus check had arrived and his brother had cashed it.

So we have a multiple Convicted Felon and well armed. I guess gun laws only are for honest citizens and that Harris/Pelosi/Biden Stimulus $$$ help arm him to rob and or Murder unarmed citizens to feed his drug habit.
