December 20, 2018.- An alleged criminal was gunned down by police in Puerto Vallarta, after he held a woman hostage when intercepted after assaulting a mini-supermarket. The individual, approximately between 30 and 35 years old, showed up this Thursday at the establishment of 8 de Mayo Street, in the Lomas del Coapinole neighborhood, in Puerto Vallarta and threatened the woman in charge with a firearm. From that fact, a tortilla delivery man noticed, who escaped and reported what happened to the municipal police. The business was surrounded by municipal officials, who asked him to free the woman.

Police shot and killed a man in Ogden, Utah, who they say was suspected of kidnapping a woman.

The Friday night shooting occurred near Ogden's Christmas Village, which features live entertainment and cottages designed to resemble Santa's village at the North Pole.

Police Chief Randy Watt says a woman flagged down officers and told them she escaped after being abducted in another city by a man who was then spotted on a nearby sidewalk.

Watt said the man pulled out a pistol and fired at the officers, striking a police vehicle.

The chief says two officers then shot the suspect whose name was not immediately released. No bystanders were hurt.
