PAGE, Ariz. – Authorities say a Navajo Nation police officer has been shot and killed while answering a domestic violence call in a small community south of Page, Ariz.

Officials tell KRQE-TV in Albuquerque that Sgt. Darrell Curley died at the hospital in Page after being shot in the town of Kaibito on Saturday night. Another injured officer was treated and released.
