Community members and law enforcement officers from across the state of Minnesota and beyond gathered for a final salute to Joshua Owen who was fatally shot answering a domestic abuse call.

Pope County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Owen was killed April 15 while responding to a domestic violence call at a home in Cyrus, a small town east of Morris. His funeral was held Saturday morning at Minnewaska Area High School in Glenwood.

"I’m angry that this happened, I’m angry that his beautiful life was cut short, and I’m angry that my son’s father was taken from him far too soon. It wasn’t supposed to be this way."

The BCA's initial investigation indicates he pulled out a gun and opened fire after he was informed that he was being arrested.

The BCA says the shooting started after the officers informed Nygard that he was under arrest.

The medical examiner determined that Bryan Nygard, 34, of Cyrus, died from multiple gunshot wounds. The initial investigation shows he began firing on officers when he was informed of his arrest.
