UPDATE:
TREMONTON, Utah (KIFI) — Two Tremonton Garland police officers were shot and killed Sunday night while a Box Elder County Sheriff’s deputy and a police K9 were injured, all while responding to a domestic disturbance in Tremonton, Utah.
The incident began around 9:02 PM on August 17, 2025, when multiple 911 calls were made from a home in the area of 700 N. 200 E. in Tremonton. Two officers from the Tremonton Garland Police Department responded to the home. As the first officer spoke with the caller, a man came out of the residence with a gun and opened fire, striking and killing both officers.
A Box Elder County Sheriff’s deputy, who was on the way to assist, arrived at the scene, and the man fired into the deputy’s vehicle, injuring both the deputy and the police service dog. Both were taken to a hospital and a specialty veterinary clinic and are in fair condition.
According to a statement from the Brigham City Police Department, bystanders convinced the suspect to put down his weapon, and he was taken into custody by other responding officers. He was booked into the Box Elder County Jail on charges of aggravated murder. The Weber County Attorney’s Office is leading the homicide investigation.
Due to the violent nature of the incident, a SWAT team was called to clear the home and ensure there was no remaining threat.
The Brigham City Police Department released a statement saying, “Tragedies like these rock an entire community, state, and even nation. These officers and their families served theirs every day, and they will forever be remembered as heroes. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tremonton Garland Police Department, Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office, and the families of those involved. We are grateful for the swift response from multiple agencies from Box Elder, Weber, and Cache Counties.”
