The incident happened just after 14:00 local time (2330 IST).The shooting happened in a rural area of York County in North Codorus Township, about 160km west of Philadelphia.

The shooting forced a nearby school district in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania – a small town of about 2,500 people – to briefly shelter in place. The district later said the school had not been affected.

It seems that Law. and order is crumbling down in the entire USA and no one is safe anywhere . The country is turning into a War zone like Syria or Ukraine .

Colonel Christopher Paris , Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner said the gunman was fatally shot by the police.

Images from the scene show injured personnel being airlifted in a Medevac.

Officials said there was no active threat to the public.

Authorities said officers were at the scene for an investigation that had begun the day before.
Police have not shared many of the details because the investigation was ongoing, Commissioner Paris said.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro reached the area on Wednesday afternoon and met the families of the officers killed, local media reported.

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

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

Shapiro later ordered all flags in the state to be lowered to half-mast in honour of the three officers killed.

All Pennsylvania state flags will be lowered at all public buildings and grounds throughout the commonwealth.

FBI Director Kash Patel said agents were on the ground providing assistance to local and state partners.

“Our prayers are with the officers, their families, and the entire York County community,” Patel wrote in a statement.
