On the evening of July 25, 2014, officers responded to a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex in Millcreek, Utah, after a 911 call from the wife of 31-year-old Nicholas Lister. The call escalated when she told the dispatcher that her husband had threatened to shoot police if they entered. Officers attempted to de-escalate by communicating with Lister, who had been drinking and was reported to be suicidal; they used his wife’s cellphone to urge him to surrender.

Lister told officers the situation would end with his death or an officer’s, said he was bunkered in and ready to fight for his freedom, and later went onto a balcony with a 12-gauge shotgun to smoke. Officers ordered him to stay unarmed; he swung the shotgun toward two officers and fired at least one shot. The officers returned fire, killing Lister. The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office later concluded the use of deadly force was legally justified. No arrests were made.
