Police shot a man who threatened to detonate a bomb Thursday night on the Gallivan TRAX station platform in downtown Salt Lake City.
Officers responded to a call of a bomb threat at 9 p.m. and found a man on the light-rail station platform, said Salt Lake police Lt. J.R. Nelson. The man seemed upset and claimed to have a bomb in his backpack.
KUTV Channel 2 News reported that the man called the station at 9:10 p.m., saying he was wired with explosives.

Whatever was going through this guy's head, he either didn't want to go to jail or find himself in some heavy legal matter.
People are going bomb crazy these days. It's truly sad to hear people have to resort to this type of behavior.
