The next day, Oct. 30, 2017, Austin Boutain was recognized by a librarian at the Salt Lake Public Library, after more than 200 officers and FBI agents conducted a lockdown to find the culprit and assure students were safe on campus. Boutain pled guilty to two felonies: attempted aggravated murder and aggravated kidnapping, which qualifies for the death penalty in the state of Utah.

Vocational awe, anyone? Though no part of this story is actually surprising. It's not surprising that a fleeing murderer would go to a perceived safe space in a public library. It's also not surprising that a librarian there had been following the news and was able to recognize the suspect.
