YORK COUNTY, PA — Three police officers are dead, and two other police officers are in critical, but stable, condition after a shooting in York County.
It happened in the 1800 block of Haar Road in North Codorus Township, York County, on Wednesday afternoon.
Ted Czech with the York County Office of Emergency Management says a 911 call came in at 2:10 p.m.
Officers were at the location on Haar Road following up on a domestic-related investigation that started on Tuesday.
When they arrived at the location, officers were shot at and fired back, killing the shooter.
At a news conference on Wednesday evening, officials said 3 officers died on the scene. They did not release details on which departments the officers belonged to, citing the ongoing investigation.
The shooter has also not been identified, for those same reasons.
Late Wednesday night, a procession for the three fallen officers was held. The community lined the streets, holding American flags, in support of those lost.
“This is an absolutely tragic and devastating day for York County and for the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” Governor Josh Shapiro said during a press conference at WellSpan York Hospital. “Grieve for the loss of life for three precious souls who served this county, served this commonwealth, and served this country, and we continue to pray for the full recovery of those who are dealing with their wounds.”
