This from The Salt Lake Tribune: The Army knew days ahead of time that a distraught soldier, recently home from the war in Afghanistan, intended to come to Utah to "make a statement," but officials investigating a series of alarming messages from Spc. Brandon Barrett did not warn local law enforcement of the threats.

Barrett, wearing full body armor and carrying hundreds of rounds of ammunition, shot a Salt Lake City police officer in the leg during a gunfight that ended when the wounded officer fired back, killing the soldier with a shot to the head.

"The first thing we knew about Mr. Barrett was when he encountered him on the street," Salt Lake City police spokeswoman Lara Jones said Monday - the same day the department provided The Salt Lake Tribune with scores of photos and several videos that further emphasize how narrowly the city came to an even greater tragedy on the afternoon of Aug. 27.
