Two police officers responding to a domestic disturbance call were shot and killed in Utah and a man was taken into custody after bystanders persuaded him to drop the gun, authorities said Monday.

"Upon arrival, they immediately began taking fire," police said. "They requested additional units. And then stopped answering their radio."
