SWAT is on ground and a chopper is in the sky searching the area.

It is unknown what the condition of officer is.

DRAPER: Press conference being postponed for a bit - while location moves to City Hall.

I'm still confused here... he must have been shot while DRIVING... since he crashed after being shot?
Wow. I was hoping they had a description but if he was shot while driving... they probably don't.

The Draper police chief is not holding it together very well.
Reading a press release, no questions, another presser in an hour or two.

This morning at about 6am a distress call came in reporting shots fired.
Officers from Draper city responded.
They found that Draper police officer, adult male and adult female had been shot.

Sgt Derek Johnson
was transported to IMC where he passed away as a result.
Family has been notified.
Adult male and adult female are in critical condition.
Officers from across the state have responded and closed off the area.

Asking residents to stay in their homes and contact an officer on scene if they need to leave.
An officer will then escort them out of the area.
Call 911 if you see anything suspicious.

Tragic day for Draper police department.
They are doing what they can to keep everyone safe.
They do NOT believe they have any outstanding suspects.

End presser.

So it sounds like they believe this was domestic/attempted murder/suicide and he took a cop with him. :banghead:

Draper Police, continued: "We will update you with a new time for the upcoming press conference as it is available."
 
KSL.com ‏@kslcom 7m
Draper Police Department will hold another press conference at 3 p.m. today. We'll have it live on @KSL5TV and http://live.ksl.com .
 
Per presser... the adult male and/or the adult female is the shooter. Both considered to be still in critical condition.

Heartbreaking, Sgt Johnson was only 32 and the photo they showed his son was just toddler age.
