A young police officer in Arizona was killed by a gunman after responding to a "disturbance" call early Saturday morning, officials say.

Gila River Police Department (GRPD) officer Joshua Briese died from his wounds on Saturday, according to a Facebook post published by the department. Briese, who worked for the GRPD for less than a year, was still undergoing field training when he was killed.

According to the GRPD, another officer was wounded in the shooting and transported to a hospital in serious but stable condition. The shooting took place at around 2 a.m. at a house in Santan, District 4 of the Gila River Indian Community.

"As the responding officers worked to address the disturbance, which involved a large crowd, multiple gunshots were fired," police said. "Two GRPD officers were struck by gunfire, as were four individuals at the scene."
