NORTH CODORUS, Pa. (AP) — Three police officers were killed and two were injured in a shooting Wednesday in the southern part of Pennsylvania, state police said.

“We grieve for the loss of life of three precious souls who served this county, served this commonwealth, served this country,” Gov. Josh Shapiro said.

"This kind of violence is not OK, we need to do better as a society,” he continued.

The shooting erupted in the area of North Codorus Township, about 115 miles (185 km) west of Philadelphia, not far from the Maryland line, authorities said.

“The grief will be unbearable but we will bear it,” Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher Paris at a news conference. “We will not rest until we conduct a full fair and competent investigation into this matter.”

York Hospital said it was treating two people in serious condition and had enhanced security protocols are in place.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi called the violence against police “a scourge on our society." She said federal agents were on the scene to support local officers.

“Please send prayers to the officers and those involved in the shooting in York County,” Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Austin Davis said in a social media post.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said he was also on the scene. Sunday said on social media he urges “all residents to follow the instructions of local law enforcement” and he is “praying for all involved.”

A local school district issued a shelter-in-place order, though it said schools and students were not involved in the shooting. The order was lifted later in the afternoon. The district said in a statement that authorities “advised us to hold students and staff in our buildings as a precaution while several area roads are closed.”

The medical response unfolded on a rural road in south-central Pennsylvania that winds through an agricultural area with a barn and farm fields.

The officers were serving a warrant in North Codorus Township at the time, law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation confirmed to ABC News.

The shooter was shot and killed by police, according to Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Colonel Christopher Paris, who said there is no ongoing threat.

Two officers are in critical but stable condition and are being treated at Wellspan York Hospital, officials said.

*Edit - local news just said the perp died of self-inflicted gunshot wound. IDK 🤷‍♂️

I've lodged my pissed-off-idness. Holy hell.
My email……..

Dear University of Kansas Leadership,

I am writing as a proud KU alumnus and longtime supporter of the University. I am disheartened and angered by the widely circulated post attributed to a KU employee that states, among other things, that an individual is “better in the ground as worm food.”

Regardless of context, these words are dehumanizing, hateful, and completely incompatible with the values I expect from anyone representing the University of Kansas. When a KU employee publishes such comments publicly, it embarrasses our university and our alumni, undermines trust in KU’s commitment to a safe and respectful environment, and reflects poorly on current students, faculty, staff, donors, and partners.

My requests:

• Immediate disciplinary action in accordance with KU policy and state law, up to and including termination.

• A public statement from KU leadership condemning the language used and reaffirming KU’s standards for professional conduct and respectful discourse.

• Confirmation that KU is reviewing social media and conduct policies to ensure they are enforced consistently for all employees.

• A written response to me outlining what steps the University is taking and the timeline for those steps.

Free expression has a place at a public university; dehumanizing speech by a University employee acting in public does not. KU must uphold standards that reflect dignity, respect, and the safety of its community.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message and advise me of the actions KU will take. I would appreciate a response by Friday.


Sincerely
