| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Three officers were killed and two others were left at death's door from an apparent ambush in rural Pennsylvania Wednesday afternoon. Police were following up on an investigation that had begun the day before when the unidentified gunman opened fire in North Codorus Township. He was then killed when police returned fire. An initial 911 call came in at 2.10pm, followed by a series of calls, including one that said 'officer down' and 'signal 13,' which means an officer in trouble. At least 30 shots were fired in the barrage, one witness told WGAL. 'It was just continuous,' Dave Miller said. 'More than what I could count, but it was at least 30 shots and it went on for quite a while.' Miller said he was heading home from work when he saw police 'looking for someone. 'And then I heard the gunshots ring [out] and I saw people on the ground and I got clear,' he said, describing how he found an officer lying in the middle of the road. 'More police were still rolling and they were coming from all directions,' Miller continued. 'It wasn't long til I heard a helicopter.' At that point, Miller said, a police officer urged him to get out of the area. He added that he knew the family who lives at the house, but did not know why police were called to the scene. The shooting had prompted schools in the Spring Grove School District and hospitals in York County to be temporarily placed on lockdown. The school district noted that the officer-involved situation was not related to students or schools. In remarks Wednesday night, Gov. Josh Shapiro denounced the violence as he argued 'we can do better when it comes to mental health.' 'We need to do better as a society,' the governor told news hounds, expressing his hope that something 'constructive' can come from the fallen officer's memory. 'We grieve for the loss of life of three precious souls who served this county, served this commonwealth, served this country,' Shapiro said. Multiple agencies are now assisting with the investigation, as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the agency is 'monitoring' the situation and echoed Shapiro's remarks that 'violence must stop.' 'We are working with our interagency partners and will share more information as soon as it becomes available. We are praying for the victims and their families. This violence must stop.' Strangely, the Mexican Consulate also said in a now-deleted post it was 'monitoring the incident' and that the 'Mexican community is advised to follow official instructions.' A spokesperson for the consulate in Philadelphia has since claimed that the post was 'only a precautionary alert for our community.'
Sources had initially said that the shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. During a Wednesday evening press conference, however, Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris revealed that the suspect was killed by police. Officials have not yet revealed the suspect's identity.
7:16 PM PDT Officials with the Pennsylvania State Police said that Wednesday's shooting that left three officers dead and two others hurt, stemmed from them trying to serve a warrant regarding a domestic incident from Tuesday. "They were there to follow up on an investigation that began yesterday," Cpl. Christopher Paris said. "The general heading of that investigation I would say would be domestic related." Officials said that they are working on writing up search warrants and could not provide any more information as of Wednesday evening.
