OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 11/04/2021, a Taylorsville police officer contacted Aaron Troy Michael Rehn, 29, at the Speedway gas station at 2187 W 4700 South after police described suspicious activity. Rehn ran from the officer. Police said Rehn turned and fired multiple rounds at the officer, and the officer opened fire. Police said neither was hit during the exchange. Multiple agencies searched the neighborhood and police issued a shelter in place order. Police said a 12 year old boy later spotted Rehn hiding in a basement window well and the family called 911. Police and K 9 units closed in nearby. Police said Rehn shot himself as officers approached. A later Salt Lake County District Attorney review stated the officer was justified in opening fire during the earlier exchange and that Rehn died by suicide after the search narrowed.
