Two police officers were shot and killed in a northern Utah city, and a man was taken into custody, authorities said Monday. A third officer was wounded in the shooting, they said. No civilians were harmed.
The officers were responding to a domestic disturbance call late Sunday in a neighborhood in Tremonton. The wounded officer, a sheriff's deputy, and a police dog who also responded were hospitalized for their injuries and in fair condition, police said.
After the officers were shot, bystanders persuaded the suspect to put down his weapon, police said. SWAT teams responded to clear the home and verify that there was no further threat, police said.

"Upon arrival, they immediately began taking fire," Police Detective Crystal Beck of neighboring Brigham City told reporters. "They requested additional units. And then stopped answering their radio."
Beck said once additional police arrived, "they were able to locate the subject of the shooting and take him into custody." He was in custody at the Box Elder County Jail, according to the detective.
"I think it leaves a big impact when any officer is involved in something like this," Beck said. "It affects not only the officers here in our community but also all over Utah, all over the nation."
The man was arrested on charges of aggravated murder, police said in a news release. His name was not immediately released.
Tremonton, with a population of about 10,000 people, is located roughly 75 miles north of Salt Lake City.
