SEATTLE – A former Gig Harbor, Wash. resident has been killed by police in Lehi, Utah after allegedly shooting an officer.

Media reports say 34-year-old Kelly Wark was shot by police after the incident during a traffic stop Monday morning.

A clerk at a gas station reportedly called 911 after believing Wark was driving under the influence.

The officer who stopped Wark is in the hospital with two gunshot wounds to the head.

Wark was killed by backup officers.

Police are awaiting toxicology results on Wark.

Wark was living in Utah and attending school at the Utah College of Massage Therapy in Lindon.

Lehi is about 25 miles south of Salt Lake City.
