Police Chief David Rohrer said a 40-year-old female detective who died at a hospital after the shooting became the first officer to die at the hands of an assailant in the 66-year history of the department.
And police said a 53-year-old officer remains in critical condition after undergoing surgery late Monday night. It was not clear whether the third officer, a 28-year-old man, was shot or sustained his injuries from flying glass or a ricocheting bullet.
"My 1,320 officers, plus our civilian employees and all of our employees are grieving," Rohrer said. "We are supporting the family of the officer who is seriously wounded and we are supporting, obviously, the family of the officer who was killed in the line of duty."
Police have identified the suspected gunman as 18-year-old Michael Kennedy. They said he targeted the officers. Authorities said the female detective had recently served a criminal warrant on the suspect, resulting from an argument during which a dog was killed.
Police said Kennedy was killed in the exchange of gunfire in the parking lot of the station during the 3:30 p.m. attack.
