At Rest

Deadly force
The mother of Harris' girlfriend called marshals because Harris allegedly said he was going to "smash" his girlfriend. Marshals went to the West Valley City dry cleaning shop where the girlfriend worked. Harris and the girlfriend were having a breakup conversation when the marshals arrived, relatives said. Harris, who was wanted for violating federal probation, tried to flee. The marshals said they saw a revolver in Harris' hand and shot him. The girlfriend said he was not armed and marshals didn't order him to freeze before shooting him.
