A tense situation unfolded at a senior residential building in Sandy, leaving the family of Ian Anzer demanding answers after he was fatally shot by U.S. Marshals. Anzer, a 45-year-old fugitive with recent criminal events and arrest warrants, was staying at his mother’s apartment in the Silver Pines Senior Community.
The family is urgently requesting the release of the officer’s body camera footage to understand the full context of the incident. They have also raised concerns about the timeliness of the emergency medical response following the shooting.

Anzer’s criminal past came to the forefront on Friday when law enforcement officers pursued him. He had previously pleaded guilty to charges including possession of a firearm by a restricted person and failing to stop at a police command. He was on probation and required to complete community service.
Details leading up to the shooting are still under investigation, according to Sgt. Greg Moffit. The family describes moments of confusion and disbelief as Anzer reportedly resisted the officers’ entry into the home and claimed a hostage situation, which his brother finds incomprehensible. Allegations suggest that Anzer was shot while reaching for a knife, a detail the family is eager to confirm or refute through the body camera footage.
Anzer’s brother, in a deeply personal account, portrays him as nonviolent and asserts that despite his defiance towards authority, he was inherently good-hearted. The tragic incident has left the family in distress, particularly Anzer’s mother, who witnessed the fatal shooting.
Research and analysis into police shootings consistently highlight the complexity and emotional toll of such events on all parties involved. This incident raises questions about the use of force and the need for careful evaluation to address the concerns of those affected while ensuring public safety.
