Nine officers injured and one dead in US police stand-off

A Connecticut police stand-off over a domestic violence call has led to a deadly blast that left one person dead and nine officers injured, police say.

Police said they were negotiating with a man suspected of taking his wife hostage when an explosion went off, destroying a barn on the property.

The officers were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and the woman escaped before the blast.

As of early Thursday, the suspect was not in police custody, officials say.
