TREMONTON, Utah, Aug 18, (AP): Two police officers were shot and killed in a northern Utah city and a man was taken into custody, authorities said Monday. The officers were responding to a domestic disturbance call Sunday in a neighborhood in Tremonton.
A sheriff’s deputy and a police dog who also responded were wounded and were hospitalized in fair condition, police said. After the officers were shot, bystanders persuaded the man to put down his weapon, police said.
SWAT teams responded to clear the home and verify that there was no further threat, police said. The man was arrested on charges of aggravated murder, police said in a news release. His name was not immediately released.
