CAYCE, S.C. — A South Carolina police officer was shot and killed on Sunday morning.

Cayce officer Drew Barr died after being shot while responding to a reported domestic disturbance, according to the police department's Facebook page. Barr had been with the department since 2016.

“Our hearts are breaking in Cayce,” Mayor Elise Partin said at a news conference. “Officer Drew Barr has been an important part of the Cayce family since 2016. All of our Cayce officers, our Cayce team and our Cayce citizens mourn with Officer Barr’s family.”

Barr was 28 years old and was a K-9 officer.

A man opened fire on Barr and two other officers after they encountered the man on the lawn of a home, according to WIS. The man eventually committed suicide after a seven-hour negotiation.
