Overview
- Four of the involved officers were from the Northern York County Regional Police Department, which confirmed three deaths and one officer still hospitalized; a York County sheriff’s deputy was also wounded.
- The gunfire erupted around 2:10 p.m. on Haar Road in North Codorus Township as officers served an arrest warrant tied to stalking and criminal trespass involving a homeowner’s ex‑boyfriend.
- Investigators say the shooter lay in wait in nearby cornfields wearing camouflage and opened fire; the suspect is dead, with later accounts indicating police gunfire killed him after earlier reports suggested suicide.
- The two surviving officers are in critical but stable condition at WellSpan York Hospital, which enacted enhanced security, and officials reported no ongoing threat after a brief school shelter‑in‑place was lifted.
- Pennsylvania State Police are leading the probe with support from the FBI, ATF and the York County District Attorney’s Office, with identities withheld pending family notifications and community vigils underway.
