Three police officers were killed and two wounded in a shooting in York County, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday afternoon, according to Pennsylvania State Police Col. Christopher L. Paris. The incident occurred after officers were serving a search warrant when they were fired upon. The gunman was later shot and killed by law enforcement.
Paris confirmed at a press conference that the two injured officers remain in critical but stable condition at a local hospital. He stated that investigators do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the community, though the scene remained active as of Wednesday evening. The shooting took place around 2:10 p.m. near the 1800 block of Haar Road in North Codorus Township, south of York.
The officers were responding to a domestic-related investigation that began on Tuesday, though officials have not disclosed specifics about the circumstances leading to the attack. A procession was held Wednesday night for the three deceased officers, featuring police and fire vehicles from multiple municipalities in central Pennsylvania. The route started at the shooting site and concluded at the York County Prison, where the county coroner’s office is located.
The identities, ages, and departments of the involved officers and the gunman remain undisclosed as of Wednesday night. Paris confirmed that details about the officers’ affiliations are being withheld intentionally.
