Officer Seely was shot and killed after responding to a home to serve a domestic violence warrant on a man who had shown up at the house of his estranged wife. The man had left the residence by the time Officer Seely had arrived.

The suspect then returned and opened fire on Officer Seely inside the home, killing him. The man then chased his family to a nearby house where he shot and killed his two young children and wounded his wife before killing himself.

Officer Seely had served with the agency for 10 years. He was survived by his expectant wife, who was a dispatcher for the agency and was on duty at the time of his murder.

Dan was one of my best friends in college at BYU. I loved Dan like a brother. My third year at school he came by one Saturday to my house with a big surprise. He wouldn't tell me what it was; he just told me to get in VW and we were off for the day. He held off telling me until we were almost there; he was going sky diving for the first time! I went through the entire training with him for half a day and took pictures when he jumped out of the plane (from the ground anyway). I miss hearing Dan's distinctive and heartwarming laugh.
