In the wake of a police shooting in Holladay, that left one officer dead and another injured, officers are extra vigilant after threats made at the time of the arrest of Cory Lee Henderson.

He was killed in a shootout with police, after killing Officer Doug Barney and shooting Officer Jon Richey. As officers investigated the scene, Henderson's mother and brother, Jaiden Snyder, arrived and according to police, Snyder began fighting with investigators.

Police arrested because of the physical altercation and because of alleged threats made at the scene and as he was being booked,

"Our jail intake heard Henderson's brother making a lot of threats, and he said specific things to them that we consider to be threatening," said Lt. Lex Bell of the Unified Police Department. Bell said the threats were veiled, and that no specific threats were made against the Barney or Richey families. But, Bell says, Henderson's family and friends were making inflammatory comments about police officers of Facebook.
