Press Release: Domestic Violence Incident and SWAT Response
On 02/27/2026, at approximately 2300 hours, officers with the Pleasant View Police Department responded to a report of domestic violence at a residence located in the area of 3050 North 1325 West in Pleasant View.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with an adult female victim who reported she had been assaulted and strangled to unconsciousness by a male suspect inside the residence. After regaining consciousness, the victim fled the home and sought assistance at a neighboring residence, where 911 was contacted.
During the investigation, officers learned that a 13-year-old child remained inside the residence with the suspect. Due to the severity of the incident, concerns for the safety of the child, and the potential presence of fi****ms, the Ogden Metro SWAT team was activated and responded to the scene.
After establishing a secure perimeter, officers were able to safely remove the child from the residence without injury. The child had been asleep and was unaware the incident was taking place. The child was medically evaluated and later released to appropriate guardians.
Shortly thereafter, officers deployed a drone to make initial entry into the residence and assess conditions inside and located the adult male suspect deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The female victim was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment and evaluation. Her current condition is stable.
This incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information related to this case is encouraged to contact the Pleasant View Police Department at 801-782-6736.
