Five police officers shot in Pennsylvania during a warrant service; three have died.
Five police officers were shot Wednesday while serving a warrant at a rural home in North Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania. Three of the officers were killed, and two remain in critical but stable condition.»
The wounded officers were taken to WellSpan York Hospital, according to local authorities.
The officers were serving a warrant related to a domestic incident that had occurred the previous day, when they were shot around 2:10 PM by the suspect, who was then killed after police returned fire.
Pennsylvania State Police are leading the investigation with assistance from the York County District Attorney’s Office and federal authorities.
“There are simply no words I can offer to assuage the grief that this community has experienced,” Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris told NBC News.
Paris called the crime scene large and active, but said there was no further threat to the community.
Local schools were put on shelter-in-place status as a precautionary measure shortly after the shooting, but that was lifted after authorities deemed the situation safe.
