Three officers from the Northern York Regional Police Department are reported to be in grave condition, while a fourth officer is listed in critical condition.
Five law enforcement officers were shot Wednesday in York County, Pennsylvania, while attempting to serve a warrant. Three have died from injuries and the other two were wounded.
According to NBC 10 Philadelphia, "the officers were in Codorus Township following up on a domestic investigation that began Tuesday."
“There are simply no words I can offer to assuage the grief that this community has experienced,” Col. Christopher Paris said.
Authorities said the officers were shot by a suspect while serving the warrant. The suspect is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Officials ordered a shelter-in-place for the surrounding neighborhood as law enforcement secured the area. The lieutenant governor has urged residents to avoid the area, and Governor Josh Shapiro headed to the scene.
