‘This was our worst nightmare’: Police describe harrowing moments during SLC shootings, chase

SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake Police Chief Mike Brown has seen a lot of different situations during his nearly three-decade career with the department. But the situation prior to a fatal officer-involved shooting in South Salt Lake Monday morning was new and something he said police weren’t necessarily prepared for.
Harold Vincent Robinson, 37, of West Valley City, led officers on a pursuit down State Street Monday while firing shots as police pursued him down the busy road, police said. That came after police received multiple reports of shootings throughout downtown Salt Lake City.
“We train for active shooters, but we usually, basically, train for the standard — in schools or a business or something like that. This was our worst nightmare: an active shooting that’s mobile in a truck,” Brown said during a press conference updating the case Tuesday afternoon. “This is new. I don’t remember another one of these.”
