TREMONTON, Utah (ABC4) — The alleged shooter in an incident that left two officers dead and another injured in Tremonton on Sunday used a high-powered rifle in the killings, court documents state. The suspect, identified as Ryan Bate, 32, has been arrested on two counts of aggravated murder (capital murder), attempted aggravated murder (first-degree felony), and assault (class-B misdemeanor). Just before 9:20 p.m. on Aug. 17, Tremonton police officers responded to a domestic violence call on the 700 North block of 200 East in Tremonton. Upon arrival, Bate, who was armed with a high-powered rifle, opened fire on two officers. Both officers died as a result of their injuries. A Box Elder County deputy responded to a call for backup and was shot while inside his vehicle, sustaining serious but non-life-threatening injuries. His police service K-9, who was located in the rear compartment of the vehicle, was also shot and sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. While details are limited, Bate was later apprehended by police. At his home, investigators recovered a high-powered rifle and spent shell casings. Bate has a history of domestic violence, according to court documents, and was arrested on May 8, 2024, due to a domestic violence incident. Charges are allegations only.

Reagan National flights resuming after tower fire alarm
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport resumed flights on Monday after stopping them earlier in the day after an air traffic control fire alarm went off. In an earlier statement on Monday, obtained by The Hill's sister network NewsNation, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that the agency was 'pausing flights heading to Reagan Washington National Airport due to a fire alarm in the air traffic control tower.' The FAA said in a later statement to NewsNation that it was 'slowing flights into Reagan Washington National airport due to volume after inbound flights were paused because a fire alarm was activated in the air traffic control tower.' 'The tower is back to being fully operational,' the agency added. According to the flight tracking website FlightAware, 173 flights headed to National Airport were delayed Monday. Earlier this year, National Airport experienced a tragedy when an American Airlines flight and an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided near the airport, leaving no survivors. In the following months, a number of notable aviation incidents also raised questions about flight safety in the U.S.
