Sheriff's deputy killed on his 44th birthday in Minnesota shootout

One sheriff's deputy died on his 44th birthday and two other law enforcement officers were injured after a shootout in west-central Minnesota that also killed the suspect in a domestic assault call Saturday night.

Pope County Sheriff's Deputy Joshua Owen died at the hospital after the shooting, which happened around 7:30 p.m. at an apartment in Cyrus, authorities said. Another deputy and a police officer from Starbuck, Minnesota, were also injured, but are expected to be OK.

Dozens filled the streets of Glenwood, the western Minnesota town where Owen lived, to welcome Owen home on Monday after his body was transported from the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office in Ramsey.
