NORTH CODORUS TOWNSHIP, Pa. — At least one officer is believed to be dead and several have been shot Wednesday while they were serving a warrant in York County, Pennsylvania, law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation confirmed to ABC News.
An investigation is occurring in the area of North Codorus Township, about 115 miles west of Philadelphia, not far from the Maryland line, authorities said.
York Hospital said it was treating two people in serious condition related to a police incident in northern York County. The hospital said enhanced security protocols are in place.
Details on the incident have been limited. Governor Josh Shapiro is expected to provide an update at 6:15 p.m.
“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.
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 Consulate of Mexico in Philadelphia said in a social media post that they were “monitoring the incident” in Pennsylvania and advised Mexican residents nearby to follow official instructions. A spokesperson for the Mexican consulate in Philadelphia said the post was “only a precautionary alert for our community.
Officers were keeping people well back from the scene in the area’s rolling farmland, with some 30 police vehicles blocking off roads bordered by a barn, a goat farm and soybean and corn fields.
“Pennsylvania State Police, Northern Regional Police and numerous emergency responders are at the scene. The York County Commissioners are monitoring the situation closely and praying for all those involved,” the county said in a statement.
