Deadly 'Signal 13' shooting leaves five cops wounded in rural Pennsylvania

Five cops have been wounded after being shot in rural Pennsylvania Wednesday afternoon.

Three officers are in critical condition and a York County Sheriff Deputy was hurt in the incident, officials said.

Authorities were reportedly serving a warrant when an alleged suspect opened fire, sources told NBC10.

The alleged shooter is believed to be dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound, the sources added.

Schools and hospitals in the York County area have been locked down as emergency crews respond.

York Hospital is treating two people who are in serious condition. The building has enhanced security measures because of the incident.

An initial 911 call came in at 2.10pm, followed by a series of calls, including one that said 'officer down' and 'signal 13,' which means an officer in trouble.

Governor Josh Shapiro released a statement online shortly after the incident saying he was on his way to the area. He said: 'We ask those in the area to please follow the directions of local law enforcement and PA State Police.'

The Mexican Consulate said the agency is 'monitoring the incident' and that the 'Mexican community is advised to follow official instructions'.

I just posted this on another thread:

“The region of south-central Pennsylvania is an apple-growing area that attracts migrant farm workers, many of them from Mexico.”

Mexican workers probably (hopefully not illegal) on agriculture visas.

Perhaps some folks took to heart all the lefty “suggestions” that they fight back and resist. Despite all the right wing hate talk. 🙄

I yearn for the days when Justice had a vigilante ring to it. You take some of ours out, we take all of yours out kinda thing.

Wrong think above, but it would be nice to have arrest, trial and conviction in the same Month. It shouldn’t be too hard to have the State Supreme Courts monitor the trial, and decide whether it was a fair trial within a day or so. THEN, the hangmans noose, or life without any phones. What kind of punishment has smart phones or computers? Just like 1968, let them read or write, but no other distractions.

Yes, why don’t news reports begin with a recap of events?
Instead they immediately go into some disjointed and often useless rambling.

I don’t understand why they don’t explain why the warrant was issued. Apparently 5 cops wasn’t enough so what gives?

...The incident unfolded shortly after 2 p.m., when 911 operators received calls about the incident in North Codorus Township in central Pennsylvania, about 2 1/2 hours west of Philadelphia.

Police were dispatched to Haar Road in Spring Grove, a heavily agricultural borough of York County dotted with small barns and sprawling farm land...

Yes, why aren’t they naming who was on the warrant and what he was wanted for?

I’m guessing it doesn’t fit libmedia’s narrative of OMB.

Based on no facts at my disposal, I have to ask how serving a warrant took not one officer with a partner but somehow apparently 5 of them. 3 died and 2 are in critical but stable condition as I write this. In a rural, low population region.

Prayers up for the officers and their families.
