Four other officers and a police dog were hurt following the shooting Sunday night in Rittman, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of Cleveland, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon arrival at the scene, officers came under immediate gunfire,\u201d a joint statement from Rittman Police Chief Robert Shows and the sheriffs in Wayne and Medina counties said. <\/p>\n

Sgt. Scott Ries, a 10-year veteran of the Rittman Police Department, was killed, the statement said.<\/p>\n

Three of the wounded officers were with the Medina County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the fourth was with the Hinckley Police Department. Two of the group were taken to a hospital and were in stable condition. The others were treated at the scene.<\/p>\n

The dog was in serious condition. <\/p>\n

The names of the suspect and the others who died, as well as the circumstances of their deaths, were not released. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives posted online that the suspect\u2019s former partner and her child died. <\/p>\n

Before the 54-year-old Ries joined the department, he was a deputy sheriff for the Wayne County Sheriff\u2019s Office and an officer for the Sugar Grove Police Department. <\/p>\n

In honor of Ries, Rittman Mayor Rudy Arnold on Monday ordered that flags at city facilities be lowered to half-staff until he is buried. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask all Ohioans to keep the family, friends, and fellow officers of our fallen hero in their thoughts and prayers as they endure this unimaginable loss,\u201d the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio posted online. <\/p>\n
