West Valley City, Utah — West Valley police released body camera footage of an officer-involved shooting that occurred in West Valley City early May, 2021. The suspect was identified as 25-year-old Denny James Clark. At about 1:30 a.m. on May 10, officers were called to the area of 4700 W Huntington Street for a suspect breaking windows with the crowbar and trying to get into several homes. Body camera footage from officers shows Clark approached the officers carrying the crowbar. When he was ordered to drop the crowbar, Clark replied, “Nope, let me get these car keys or someone’s getting it.”

He then said, “Alright, here I come,” as he raised the crowbar over his head with both hands and ran toward one of the WVCPD officers. After Clark continued advancing, one of the officers fired five shots at Clark, who fell to the ground and was “immediately taken into custody.” Clark was treated for his wound and is being held without bail in the Salt Lake County jail. Denny James Clark, whose gunshot wound was not life-threatening, was charged in 3rd District Court with two counts of assault against a peace officer, second-degree felonies; aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony; and vehicle burglary and criminal mischief, class A misdemeanors.

  1. He was so lucky not to be dead. Just what do they expect to benefit from my charging an officer with any weapon? You either end up dead or in jail which is worse than you previously were.

  2. Good job by the R/Os. Good thing the subject was of a certain ethnicity too, otherwise we’d be hearing about this endlessly on the news and seeing a bunch of BLM riots in Utah….

  3. Wow. I wonder what that would feel like to try to move your arm and be awake enough to know it got shot right through the bone. Lmao… Would have been much easier to just drop the fucking rod.

  4. Wait…… he’s white????? Oh yeah, doesn’t matter who you are, don’t approach an officer with a deadly weapon because they’ll approach you in it’s their deadly weapon. Duhhhh.

  5. He turned into a YOGA INSTRUCTOR once that lead over powered the METH and BATH SALT Richard Simmons eat your heart out SON!!!!

  6. This is just me but it doesn't seem like a legal shoot. I commend them for using tazer but I would think he could try and go hands on. But take this with a grain of salt.
