In Tremonton, Utah, a shooting incident resulted in at least three police officers being injured after a suspect opened fire during their response to a disturbance call late Sunday. The Brigham City Police Department, which is handling the public information regarding the incident, confirmed the officers were shot around 9:30 PM local time, although their conditions remain unverified, according to Newsweek.
Detective Crystal Beck of the Brigham City Police described a chaotic scene where officers "immediately began taking fire" and were forced to call for backup, ultimately losing communication with their radios during the exchange, as reported by India Times and CBS News.
The situation sparked a significant police response, involving multiple agencies and a SWAT team from surrounding counties. Authorities confirmed that the suspect has been taken into custody without causing any harm to civilians, indicating there remains no threat to the public, according to India Times and CBS News.
Local Mayor Lyle Holmgren initially indicated on Facebook that two officers had died, a statement he later retracted as the scenario remained dynamic. The incident drew widespread concern as residents reported hearing gunfire and being concerned for their safety, as noted by Newsweek.
