A Pope County deputy responding to a domestic call around 7:30 Saturday night in Cyrus was shot and killed. Two others, a Starbuck police officer and another Pope County deputy, were injured by gunfire in the same incident, according to a post from the Pope County Sheriff’s Office.

Officers from the Glenwood and Starbuck Police Departments and deputies from the Pope County Sheriff’s Office all responded to the home.

Authorities say there was “an exchange of gunfire” between officers and a man at the home during an attempted arrest.

The Pope County deputy was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died from his injuries, according to the sheriff’s office.

Damn, stay frosty out there.

This happens so often. Perhaps the police should approach these situations more carefully.

My dad had a hard and fast rule about domestic calls.....Wait a bit and give them time to sort it out. Nine times out of ten it was the same antagonists they had been called out on before.

It's a lot safer to stop by and see who won or lost than to inject yourself into the middle of it where there is a better than even chance you will be assailed by both antagonists.

Luring cops into an ambush with fake domestic calls is happening as well.

Like hiring school shooters to enter the building first?

The most dangerous situation for any law enforcement individual to approach.
You never know what you're going to find.

If a family makes repeated calls to the police perhaps the State should dissolve the marriage and force both to relocate. It's also pretty clear that God hasn't blessed that union, so it can be 'put asunder'.
