Police: Man kills ex-girlfriend in Utah, dies after chase
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah man died following a police chase and shooting after he shot and killed an ex-girlfriend who had a restraining order against him, authorities said.
It was unclear if he was killed by the officers or took his own life.
Sue Ann Sands, 39, stepped away from her job to meet with James Dean Smith, 33, shortly before she made a panicked call to police Sunday reporting saying that shots were being fired at her car, police said.
“She was frantic and screaming,” Utah County sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer Cannon said.
