SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — A man armed with a shotgun outside a Mormon temple near Salt Lake City was shot and killed by police on Christmas Day, a television station reported.

Two men were in an altercation in the parking lot of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 12:30 p.m., the station said.

Police arrived shortly afterward and repeatedly ordered the shotgun-toting man to drop the weapon, said South Jordan police Lt. Dan Starks.

When he refused, one officer opened fire, Starks said.
