Three law enforcement officers were killed and two others were wounded in a shooting in Pennsylvania on Wednesday afternoon, and the suspect is also dead, the state police commissioner said.
Police were apparently serving a warrant in York County when they were fired upon, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The officers were in Codorus Township following up on a domestic investigation that began Tuesday, said the state police commissioner, Col. Christopher Paris.
\u201cThere are simply no words I can offer to assuage the grief that this community has experienced,\u201d he said.
The two surviving officers were in critical but stable condition at WellSpan York Hospital, he said.
Police shot the suspect, who is dead, Paris said. The suspect was not immediately identified Wednesday.
The first 911 call came in from North Codorus Township at 2:10 p.m., said Ted Czech of the York County Office of Emergency Management.
Dave Miller told NBC affiliate WGAL of Lancaster<\/a> that he was driving home and had pulled over to clear the way for police and heard the gunfire.
\u201cI looked over to the right, of course, and I saw the police in the barn, looked like they were looking for someone,\u201d he told the station. \u201cAnd then I heard the gunshots ring, and I saw people on the ground.\u201d
Miller said the person on the ground appeared to be a police officer. He said he heard around 30 shots.
\u201cIt was just continuous,\u201d he said. \u201cLots of shots, more than what I could count.\u201d
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro asked for prayers for the officers\u2019 families. He called it “a tragic and devastating day” for York County and the state.
Shapiro said that he spent time with the families Wednesday and that even though they were grieving, they took time to say “how proud they are of their loved ones who put on a uniform to keep us safe.”
“This kind of violence isn’t OK,” Shapiro said. “We need to do better as a society. We need to help the people who think that picking up a gun, picking up a weapon is the answer to resolving disputes.
The officers were not immediately identified Wednesday. Paris did not name their department, citing the investigation.
Paris did not release details about how the shooting occurred. He called the crime scene large and active but said there is no further threat to the community.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement<\/a> that the FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was assisting, and she said, “Violence against law enforcement is a scourge on our society and never acceptable.”
Bondi reached out to Shapiro and said the state has the full support of the federal government, Shapiro said.
Shapiro ordered flags lowered to half-staff Wednesday in honor of the slain officers.
The deadly shooting comes almost seven months after another police officer in York County, West York Patrolman Andrew W. Duarte, was killed<\/a> as he was responding to a hospital siege<\/a> in which a gunman took hostages.
