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 on 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.

“Upon arrival, they encountered gunfire right away,” stated Police Detective Crystal Beck from the nearby Brigham City during a press briefing earlier. “They called for backup units and subsequently ceased responding to their radio.”

The man was arrested on charges of aggravated murder, police said in a news release.

His name was not immediately released.

Tremonton, which has about 10,000 people, is about 75 miles (121 kilometers) north of Salt Lake City.
