[PJ] Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating a shooting spree in Pennsylvania's state capital of Harrisburg earlier today.
According to the area district attorney, it appears there were three sites where 51-year-old Ahmed Amin El-Mofty intentionally engaged police. One Pennsylvania State Trooper was injured.
The suspect was eventually shot and killed by police. Possible explosives were found on his body, which a bomb squad had to render inert.
El-Mofty has been identified as a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Turkey.
He had reportedly recently taken a trip to the Middle East.
