Deputy Sheriff Josh Owen was shot and killed while he and another deputy attempted to arrest a man for domestic violence in the 400 block of Stromen Street in Cyrus at about 7:30 pm.
Deputies as well as police officers from the Glenwood Police Department and Starbuck Police Department had been dispatched to the house for reports of a domestic violence incident. The officers were attempting to place the man into custody when he opened fire on them. Deputy Owen and the subject were both fatally wounded. The other deputy and the Starbuck officer were injured.
The incident occurred on Deputy Owen's 44th birthday. "Our sympathies and love are with Deputy Josh Owen's family, and the families of the other deputies and officers involved," said Pope County Sheriff Tim Riley.
"Deputy Owen had a heart as big as his stature. He leaves behind a wife and a son. He loved his family, his brotherhood and his community. Deputy Owen served the Pope County Sheriff's Office for nearly 12 years, and also served his country in the United States military."
