16-Year-Old Dies After Shooting Near Ben Lomond High in Ogden

District officials say the shooting occurred after dismissal, not as an attack on the campus.

Overview

  • Police say the teen was shot near 7th Street and Monroe Boulevard and reached the Ben Lomond campus seeking help around 2:50 p.m.
  • Ogden Police Capt. Tim Scott said the victim was taken to a hospital, where he died.
  • The Homicide Task Force is leading an active investigation, and police asked people to avoid the area.
  • Highland Junior High and East Ridge Elementary briefly went into secure protocol, with students released under police supervision after the area was cleared.
  • Officials have not confirmed whether the teen attended Ben Lomond, and the incident followed a recent bomb-threat case for which a juvenile in Washington was detained.
