OY — A 35-year-old Roy man is dead following a standoff with police at his home Tuesday morning.

At about 4 a.m., officers were dispatched to 3779 W. 5300 South to check on a man who had called a suicide hotline, according to Detective Matt Gwynn, the public information officer for Roy Police Department. A negotiator from the SWAT team was then brought in, and Gwynn says a 6- to 6 ½-hour standoff ensued.

“At some point those negotiations failed and unfortunately the SWAT team was involved in a shooting, and the subject is now deceased,” Gwynn said.

The shots were fired at about 11:15 a.m., according to Gwynn. He said he doesn’t know if the man fired a shot, or even how many shots were fired.
