3 Police Officers Killed, 2 Wounded in Shootout in Pennsylvania’s York County

Pennsylvania’s York County is grieving after three police officers were killed in the line of duty during a gun battle. Two others were wounded. Today, the commonwealth is pausing to honor their sacrifice.

On Wednesday evening, a solemn scene unfolded in North Codorus Township, about 45 minutes south of Harrisburg. Residents and first responders lined the streets as a procession of police and emergency vehicles carried the bodies of the officers killed in the line of duty.

Gov. Josh Shapiro said, “This is an absolutely tragic and devastating day for York County and for the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”

Earlier in the day, officers approached a rural farmhouse in York County to serve an arrest warrant and restraining order tied to a domestic incident. But when they got there, the suspect opened fire from a nearby cornfield.

A 911 phone call recording was released, documenting the traumatic incident. Homes and schools in the area were immediately placed on lockdown. 

Dave Miller, who lives just across the street from the farmhouse, says he was out for a walk when the gunfire started.

“When I passed the barn, I heard gunshots within a few minutes, and I saw an officer go down in the middle of the road. And middle of the range. Pretty alarming,” Miller said.

Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher Paris said, “There were five law enforcement officers who were shot today, three fatally, two that were transported here to WellSpan in York. They are currently listed in critical but stable condition.”

Authorities say one of the officers was able to return fire, killing the suspect, who was reportedly wearing camouflage at the time. 

Shapiro said, “This kind of violence isn’t okay. We need to do better as a society. We need help the people who think that picking up a gun, picking up a weapon, is the answer to resolving disputes.”

The FBI is now assisting the Pennsylvania State Police in their investigation. The governor has ordered U.S. and Commonwealth flags flown at half-staff in honor of the fallen officers.

said its blockade would apply to “all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports,” but that it would “not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.”

One ship that crossed the strait after the blockade began on Monday – the Christianna – had previously been stopped at the Iranian port of Bandar Imam Khomeini, data shows.

Another ship, the Ladonna, had been at Bandar Imam Khomeini for a week before turning on its transponder Tuesday and journeying into the Persian Gulf.

The Murlikishan, which is under U.S. sanctions over its connections to Iran, journeyed west through the strait overnight, tracking data shows, along with another tanker, the Peace Gulf, which is not sanctioned by the U.S. but made a port call in Iran in December 2025.

The Rich Starry, a tanker that is sanctioned by the United States under a different name, sailed through the strait overnight Monday, while the Elpis, another sanctioned tanker, sailed through the strait after the blockade began, having apparently come from the Iranian port of Bushehr, according to tracking data.

CBS News cannot confirm that the ships have not been broadcasting false location reports – called spoofing – to conceal their true whereabouts.
