A police officer managed to deflect the handgun as the 4-year-old fired one shot, according to reports.
“This is a sad day for us, because the person that pulled that trigger is 4 years old,” Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera. “Just think of the gravity of that. A 4-year-old was told, we believe, by the father, to pull the trigger and shoot a police officer. Thank God the officer was able to deflect .”
Workers told Johnson to pull to the side so they could correct the order but then called police, KSL.com reports. A 3-year-old boy also was in the back of the car, KUTV reports. The officer who deflected the gun reportedly had a minor injury from the gun firing.
