According to CBS News, the argument began because the dad received the wrong order and the employees had to contact authorities to calm him down. Officers arrived at the scene and pulled him from the car and began to arrest him. But as they were doing so, police stated, “an officer turned back toward the vehicle and saw a gun pointing out from the rear window.”

Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera said it was a “sad day for law enforcement and our community,” adding, “This needs to stop and we need to come together as a community to find solutions to the challenges we face in our neighborhoods.”
