Roy, Utah — On July 7, 2023, at 7:16p.m., the Roy police department received a call about a male at an apartment complex, armed with several firearms. Additionally, it was reported that his mother was inside the apartment attempting to negotiate with him. Responding officers were informed that the individual inside the apartment, 40-year-old Steven Kirkman had several firearms including a rifle. Officers were concerned about the safety of the other occupants in this apartment complex including several families who were occupying the pool which was next to and below this particular apartment. More officers responded to the scene, including a supervisor. Several family members arrived at the scene. An officer attempted along with the family to negotiate with Steven.
This transpired over several hours. Steven Kirkman returned to his apartment. He then came out hours later to retrieve the shotgun that he had left outside prior in the evening. Based on Steven Kirkman’s continued threats on scene, the commanders became concerned that if officers left the area it could further endanger the lives of persons in the apartment complex. Steven Kirkman came out on the balcony armed with a shotgun. Kirkman racked the shotgun and then pointed it at the officers below him. Two officers fired their weapons. Due to the distance and officers taking cover behind vehicles, there is no video of the actual shooting, only audio. Officers went to the apartment and forced entry, medical personnel was already on the scene, and life-saving measures were taken which were deemed unsuccessful. Steven Kirkman was pronounced dead at the scene. Steven Kirkman was armed with a pump-style shotgun. Inside the apartment, officers also located a handgun, rifle, and a fully loaded shotgun.

oh look how rare happening , woman sobbing+ acting like mindless animal while positioning her self to the worst possiple spot in this situation making things even vorse, endagering EVERYONE with her irrational behaviour , yep US army + police need more women in they ranks …. oh wait.
My good friend shot herself in her mom's front room her mom went crazy her son .She never told noone she just did it quietly .This man makes me so mad do you know what you are doing too these ppl your mom the officers .My god wake up .
if he had a family that really cared about him they would have taken the guns away from him, taken them out of the house.
The woman at the door helped the trigger rhappy cops
My heart breaks listening to the Mom trying to tell the officers that he needs help.
This is so sad. My heart broke that even though he was threatening to shoot her she still didnt want to leave him 💔 the police obviously had dealings with him before and they were so kind and patient and basically were going to give him what he wanted. Its just so, so sad guns should not be avaliable to people with mental healrh issues. When he said he was getting that shotgun he knew thyed have to shoot him. What a waste of a life. Im.glad no LE officers were hurt.
Maybe stop giving people with a mental illness access to firearms.
These officers did a great job . The one speaking too him you are so awesome Thank you 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸⚖ï¸
I feel sorry for his family and the officers I suffer from mental illness and I’ve even planned my death to a T but with the right help I’ve been suicidal free for just over 5 years now I still have my bad days but nothing like they use to be just wish he would have just came down the stairs empty handed and got the help 😢
This happened right by me here in Utah this officer is phenomenal 💞
I feel so bad for his mother. I hope she can get the help and support she needs after this horrific ordeal.
Sometimes the 911 ppl upset me so bad .😢
Tragic outcome, police did everything they could. Very good police work, community work.
I'm so sorry for his mom. 😢
Beats me why your government allows weirdos to have guns.
The cops behind the SUV are telling him one thing, and the cop on the phone is telling him another. It's not a good idea in a crisis situation.
Officers did an amazing job. I used to the live there two buildings to the east. It was a bit trippy seeing this place I called home for years in a video like this.
Handled so well good job guys just some people cant be helped
Police there or not, that guy was going to end his life no matter what.Suicide by cop? Police did everything they could to no snail.
The mother was making the situation about herself.
