Utah Self-Defense: Police identify man killed after kicking in door of Salt Lake City apartment :: 04/01/2017
Brian Sant, who lives at the apartment, told The Tribune that after working a late shift, he was still awake in the living room at about 3 a.m. Thursday, while his brother and 29-year-old son had long since gone to bed.
There were suddenly loud bangs on his third-story door, he said, like someone trying to kick it in.
"I jumped up and yelled, 'What the hell?' " said Sant, who has lived at the Park Place at City Centre Apartments for about three years.
The door gave way, he said, and two men entered, one holding a two-foot-long metal pipe.
A Marine veteran, Sant said he began scuffling with the men in the living room.
That's when Sant's son heard the commotion, emerged from a bedroom with a handgun — and started firing.
Sant said he and his two family members were not hurt during the episode.
He said he didn't know the men, or why they picked his apartment to invade. But he said they picked the wrong place.
"You got veterans living around in these apartments," Sant said. "You don't know who's got a gun."
Police have said a 911 "shots fired" call came in at 3:13 a.m.
Salt Lake City police Detective Keith Horrocks said Friday that the case had been turned over to homicide investigator and that the department was not immediately releasing any new information beyond naming Tupu.
Asked about additional arrests, including that of any of the apartment's residents, Horrocks said Salt Lake City police had not arrested anyone else.
A search of Salt Lake County Jail records, however, shows that an occupant of the home who was on probation for forgery and drug possession convictions was booked into jail Thursday on a probation violation.
