REXBURG, Idaho (KIFI) - A 37-year-old Rexburg man is in the hospital following an officer-involved shooting early Thursday morning.

Rexburg Police were dispatched to the 600 block of South 5th West around 3:28 a.m. in reference to a physical argument between a husband and wife.

Four officers arrived and found the subject in question and made contact with him.
