Suspected fugitive, police dog killed in Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A suspected parole fugitive is dead after being shot by law enforcement officers trying to arrest him in Salt Lake City. A police dog was also killed during the operation early Friday. The U.S. Marshals Service says a team of officers from several agencies used surveillance to locate the man in a downtown apartment. The marshal’s chief deputy says the man fled when team members tried to arrest him and, after a chase, they shot him after he showed a weapon. The suspect’s name has not been released. The dog killed was named Hondo and worked with Herriman City police.
