The two Tremonton Garland police officers, who have yet to be identified, responded to a home on Sunday night after someone had called 911 multiple times before hanging up. One officer was shot and killed while speaking with someone outside the home, and then a second officer was fatally hit with gunfire. A third officer and a K-9 were also struck but survived.
Neighbors shocked over Tremonton police officer shooting:
The suspect, Ryan Michael Bate, was taken into custody after bystanders convinced him to stand down.
"Our community is deeply saddened by the tragic and senseless act of violence that claimed the lives of two brave Tremonton/Garland police officers," wrote Tremonton Mayor Lyle Holmgren. "This tragedy is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who serve and protect.
"We must unite — not in division, but in strength — to honor their sacrifice, support their families, and stand behind all who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe."
