Man Lights Himself on Fire at UT Gas Station, Officers Injured
New surveillance video released captures the terrifying moments as a man set himself on fire, injuring four officers in the process.
The video, from a Kaysville gas station, shows a fireball shooting out of a back bathroom. Four officers were inside along with 26-year-old Tyler Ivison.
The officers were dispatched to the store after a call of a suicidal man who had poured gasoline on himself and had a lighter in hand.
All four officers say they did everything they could to try and talk Ivison into giving them the lighter and not to light himself on fire. According to the officers, when he closed the cap of the lighter, that's when they moved into to try and take it from him so that no one else would get hurt.
