"Three officers were killed, while two others are in critical but stable condition, in one of the deadliest recent attacks on the US police. Three police officers were shot dead and two wounded on Wednesday in southern Pennsylvania in the United States before the attacker was shot down, authorities said. It was one of the deadliest days for police, not only in Pennsylvania, but in the US, in recent times."
"At a news conference, Christopher Paris, the state police commissioner, explained that they were following up on an investigation that began the day before, but he shared few other details. The general heading of that investigation, I would say, would be domestic-related, Paris added. The emergency response unfolded on a rural road. Officers were keeping people well back from the scene, with some 30 police vehicles blocking off roads."
"Authorities did not identify the suspect, who was killed. Paris said he could not share many details, citing the ongoing investigation. CNN, quoting law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation, reported that the suspect was the ex-boyfriend of a woman living in the farmhouse where the shooting occurred. The officials told the network that, a day earlier, the woman had alerted local police after seeing the accused in a nearby cornfield."
Three police officers were killed and two others wounded while serving a warrant at a farmhouse off Haar Road in North Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania, a little after 2pm. The suspect was shot dead. Authorities described the case as following up on an investigation that began the day before and characterized the probe as domestic-related. The emergency response involved roughly 30 police vehicles and road closures, and prompted a temporary shelter-in-place order for a nearby school district that later clarified no schools were affected. Law enforcement said a woman at the farmhouse had alerted police after seeing the accused in a cornfield.
