Suspect dies after being shot by police officers in Roy

A man who was shot by police officers Saturday in Weber County has died.

On Saturday evening, officers with the Roy City Police Department attempted a traffic stop on the man — later identified as 46-year-old Jeremy Lundgreen — who was a suspect in an Internet Crimes Against Children case for enticing a minor.

Although Lundgreen originally cooperated with police, he eventually fled the traffic stop before being located in the area 5650 South and 2775 West at around 7:30 p.m.

When officers attempted to make contact with Lundgreen, he "immediately confronted officers with a firearm and began firing at them," the department said in a release.

An exchange of gunfire between police and Lundgreen took place over several minutes before he was hit and taken into custody.

He was taken to the hospital, where officials say he passed away Tuesday morning.

No officers were injured during the incident.

The officers who were involved in the shooting are now on paid administrative leave as the Weber Critical Attorney's Office conducts an investigation.
