Two Arizona law enforcement officers were recovering Tuesday after being wounded in a shootout that killed a domestic violence suspect in a small mining town near the New Mexico border, authorities said.
The suspect — 29-year-old Chris Ingram — died at a hospital in Morenci, authorities said.
Greenlee County Deputy Jon Mennen and Clifton police Sgt. Jason Mingura suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and were being treated at University Medical Center in Tucson.
The officers encountered the suspect on Monday night while they were on the way to the scene of a domestic violence report, Undersheriff Patrick Sexton said. Shots were fired after the officers stopped Ingram on U.S. Highway 191.

Goalkeeper Hope Solo faces the possibility of being left off the American roster for this year's Women's World Cup if she fails to complete tasks set for her by the U.S. Soccer Federation, which may include alcohol counseling.
The 33-year-old was suspended for 30 days last Wednesday for what the U.S. Soccer Federation called "an incident that occurred during the current WNT training camp" in Carson, California.
Asked whether she could be omitted from the team's World Cup roster, USSF President Sunil Gulati said Monday: "Look, that's possible. We hope that's not the case. We hope she's making progress and joins the team. That's certainly the goal, hers and ours."
Jerramy Stevens, Solo's husband, was driving a team vehicle when he was arrested last week on suspicion of driving under the influence, a person familiar with the details of the arrest told The Associated Press last week. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they could not discuss the case publicly.
Solo was ordered to refrain from drinking alcohol last June after she was arrested on domestic violence charges at her sister's home in Kirkland, Washington. The charge was dropped this month.
Speaking on a conference call with U.S. coach Jill Ellis, Gulati said he had to speak carefully because of the involvement of "health-related issues." Asked whether Solo had been asked to undergo alcohol counseling, Gulati said "I think neither of us denied or confirmed that."
"She's been given time to deal with some issues, and we think that in this period she'll certainly start that process, and we'll evaluate," he said.

Kurt Busch is confident he is in line for his best NASCAR season ever despite a domestic violence case that could keep him off the track.
Busch said Tuesday at NASCAR's annual media tour he is eager for a resolution to the highly-publicized case involving ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll, who claims Busch assaulted her in his motorhome at Dover International Speedway last September.
Driscoll claims Busch slammed her head into a wall three times.
Busch has steadfastly denied the allegations, repeating again Tuesday "it's a matter of seeing through things and understanding truth." He has not been charged by authorities, but the Delaware Attorney General's office still has the investigation.
Busch wouldn't say if he's heard from NASCAR about a possible suspension.
"We are waiting on the investigation to find a conclusion," Busch said.
A court ruling on Driscoll's request for a no-contact order is expected any day.
