  • Grantsville Man Killed in Police Standoff Officers Were Responding to Suicide Threat
    FRONT PAGE A1 TOOELE RANSCRIPT THS volleyball T remains SERVING unbeaten in TOOELE COUNTY region play with SINCE 1894 win over SHS ULLETIN See A11 B TUESDAY October 1, 2013 www.TooeleOnline.com Vol. 120 No. 35 $1.00 Grantsville man killed in police standoff Officers were responding to suicide threat by Lisa Christensen STAFF WRITER A Grantsville man was killed Sunday night after a standoff with police who responded to his home for a welfare check. According to dispatch records, officers responded to a possible suicide threat at a home near 50 E. Clark Street just before 8 p.m. Officer Alison Peterson, pub- lic information officer with the Grantsville City Police Department, said a single officer initially responded, but called for backup once the man bar- ricaded himself inside. The standoff lasted for about an hour before Travis Davis, 37, came out of the house with a handgun and pointed it at offi- cers, she said, and officers felt the need to use deadly force. “He was upset with some things that were going on in his personal life and as officers we felt he was reaching out for some help, and we tried to help but our efforts were refused,” Peterson said. “I’m sure what was going on in his life had things to do with the decisions he made that night. It’s tragic for him, and for our department.” Davis was hit by one shot fired by police. Grantsville City Police Chief Kevin Turner said a medi- cal helicopter was initially paged for Davis, but was soon turned back after it became clear that Davis had died.
