Michael Batchelor

Deadly force

Batchelor reportedly was despondent about money and family problems when he sent a text message to his wife, stating "I love you and goodbye." Relatives went to his Santaquin home, where they heard a gunshot and called police. Batchelor yelled at the responding SWAT team to leave. After an hour or so, he allegedly went to an open front door and pointed a shotgun at police, who shot him. Officers said they ordered him several times to put down the gun.
