Two police officers were sh*t and ki**ed over the weekend while responding to what authorities later confirmed was a domestic vi*lence call in Tremonton, Utah.

The tragedy began after police received multiple 911 hang-up calls. An officer arrived at the residence and spoke with someone reporting a domestic disturbance. Suddenly, a man emerged from the home and opened f*re, striking the officer.

A second officer responded shortly after and was immediately sh*t by the same suspect.
