SOUTH SALT LAKE — The wife and son of late Officer David Romrell, who was killed in the line of duty two years ago, received a gift in the form of a fully-paid-off house on Saturday.
Romrell was responding to a burglary on Nov. 24, 2018, when one of the two suspects hit him with his car trying to get away.
