TREMONTON, Utah (AP) — Three police officers were injured in a shooting in a northern Utah city and a man was taken into custody, police said.
On Sunday night, officers arrived in a Tremonton neighborhood after receiving a call about a disturbance. The details of their injuries and current medical status remain unclear.
“As soon as they arrived, shots were fired at them,” stated Police Detective Crystal Beck from nearby Brigham City during a press briefing. “They called for backup but then ceased communication on their radios.”
Beck said once additional police arrived, “they were able to locate the subject of the shooting and take him into custody.”
Beck said she did not have the man’s name. She said there was no threat to the public.
Tremonton, which has about 10,000 people, is about 75 miles (121 kilometers) north of Salt Lake City.
