LOGAN, Utah — A man is in the hospital following an officer-involved shooting Tuesday afternoon in northern Utah, according to the Cache County Sheriff’s Office.

According to police, a man allegedly broke into a Wellsville home, armed with an AR-15 rifle. Police say the suspect demanded the homeowner’s vehicle and left the residence once he was given the keys to the vehicle.

After a 911 call from the homeowner, police say the suspect was spotted by deputies, who attempted a traffic stop. However, the suspect fled from the scene at a high rate of speed. The pursuit went through Wellsville and Nibley before ending in Paradise where the officer-involved shooting took place.
