Sergeant Lee Sorensen, 56, and Officer Eric Estrada, 31, two Utah officers, were fatally shot after responding to a domestic violence call following “multiple 911 hangup calls.” The suspect, identified as Ryan Michael Bate, is accused of killing Sorensen and Estrada.

According to a press release issued by the Brigham City Police Department, the incident occurred on Sunday, August 17. At around 9:02 p.m., police received “multiple 911 hangup calls” from a Trementon residence.

One Tremonton Garland Police Department (TGPD) officer, either Sorensen or Estrada, responded to the residence and began speaking to an occupant, who reported an “apparent domestic disturbance.” At that moment, a male, identified as Bate by Fox 13, emerged and shot the officer, the release alleged.
