A rookie 26-year-old female police officer was shot and killed as she responded to a domestic disturbance that later turned into a stand-off with police outside a Sacramento home.

Officer Tara O’Sullivan lay wounded in the yard of the suspect’s house for 45 minutes before officers, pinned down by the gunman’s rifle fire, finally rescued her under the cover of an armored truck, police told reporters.
