WILLARD — Authorities initially declined to explain what specifically caused a Willard police officer to shoot and kill a motorist Friday night on Interstate 15, but on Monday, Pleasant View Police Chief D. Scott Jackson issued a news release, based on “information that was obtained on scene immediately after the tragic incident” involving the man identified as 49-year-old Cody J. Ramseyer, of Sandy.

Jackson’s release states that Ramseyer, in acting aggressively, refused to exit the vehicle or show his hands as instructed by the officers and began yelling back at the officers’ commands.

The release further states that upon getting out of the vehicle and moving toward the officers through the trees/brush, Ramseyer “indicated that he had a gun, indicated that he was going to kill the officers and told the officers to kill him.”
