The slain deputy, Joshua Owen, 44, died at a hospital. The names of the other officers and the man being arrested were not released immediately. The shooting began about 7:30 p.m. when the officers told a man that he was going to be arrested for domestic assault. The man pulled a handgun and began firing. All three officers were wearing body cams, said Pope County Sheriff Tim Riley in the county seat, Glenwood, 18 miles away. Cyrus, population 300, is 35 miles southwest of Alexandria.
