Todd B. Hainsworth

How they died

Deadly force

Hainsworth called 911, told dispatchers he had taken 60 Clonazepam pills to kill himself and fired three gunshots. Deputies in an airplane spotted his pickup 3 miles from Utah Lake's Lincoln Beach; officers soon showed up in an armored van and patrol cars. He refused to show his hands and drove his truck away. Near the beach, he drove over a spike strip and a fence, continuing toward the beach and refusing to show his hands. He got out and allegedly pointed a handgun at the armored van; Detective Zachary Adams and Dep. Corey King shot Hainsworth from the van.
