“She’s not here,” Scott Roberts says, telling his brother that he’s in Missouri living with a woman “who’s taking care of her.” “How long has she been there?” asks Jeffrey Roberts. At this moment, he sees a small brown and white dog on the front porch, tail wagging as he sniffs at the visitor’s feet.

Screams can be heard in the background as Jeffrey Roberts appears to fire a few more rounds before entering the house. More screams, and more gunshots, soon follow. The dog, who was visibly startled by the sound of gunshots, is seen running into the house after Jeffrey Roberts forces his way inside. Audio from a 911 call reveals that a neighbor thought he heard gunshots coming from the house, although he wasn’t sure.

“I was next door and it sounded like gunshots, but I’m not sure about that,” a man’s voice is heard saying on the 911 call, according to the Weber County Prosecutor’s Office. The neighbor, who was not identified, told dispatcher that he heard “several” shots before seeing a man in front of Scott Roberts’ home. “There was a guy who came out of the house, but I didn’t notice,” the neighbor said, adding that the man was in a brown pickup truck and was still there.

“I’ve never seen the truck, but it looks like it’s a work truck, but I don’t know,” the neighbor said. “Now I’m questioning myself.” He told the dispatcher it “sounded like gunshots” and asked police to “at least come check it out.” Doorbell camera video shows Jeffrey Roberts leaving the house and returning moments later with a shotgun and a large bag.

“Empty my bank accounts as fast as you can,” he is heard saying into the phone. Next, doorbell camera footage shows Jeffrey Roberts firing his pistol into the street. He takes a step forward, away from the house, before he is apparently shot multiple times by the police and falls to the ground.

One of the three officers on the scene had his body camera turned on. He shows them shooting Jeffrey Roberts and closing in on him after he falls to the ground. The officers approach the house as the fire alarm continues to sound and black smoke billows from the door and windows. One of the officers determines that a woman inside said she had been shot.

“I don’t think we can get in with this smoke,” an officer is heard saying in police body cam footage. Despite those concerns, it appears Scott Roberts’ wife may be removed from the home. According to the Weber County District Attorney’s Office, she was shot by Jeffrey Roberts and she is recovering from her injuries.

Authorities say Jeffrey Roberts is believed to have used flares to set the house on fire. The county attorney’s office says Roberts was carrying 23 fully loaded firearm magazines. He was also found with a 12-gauge shotgun and had more than 150 shotgun shells in his possession, authorities said.
