Hat tip to Prisoner 6 for mailing me the link. POE could you please ping PA list the sad news.
This is just awful...small, rural area. Domestic calls are most dangerous, but you don’t expect this in a small place like New Florence, Pa.
Ofc. Lloyd: End of watch, 11/28/15.
Godspeed and well done, sir. Rest in peace.

The List of Ping Lists |
Article amended to say arrest warrant coming today.
Thanks.
Did you notice that the article didn’t mention who shot first?
Thanks for posting perp photo & article clarification.
Thanks for posting Officer Reeds photo...pinging Tribune7 for PA Ping List
Whoops, that was supposed to be for the entire Pittsburgh Ping List
I doubt they know at this point in the investigation. When backup arrived they found the officer down and the house on fire.
Thanks. That helps explains the lack of info.
New Florence - of all places!!!
My heart breaks for this man’s family. God bless and comfort them. And God bless all our LEO’s who are out there every day, protecting the public.
If you see posts of interest to Pennsylvanians, please ping me.
Thanks!
Thanks PennsylvaniaMom for the heads up
Thanks, from a former Johnstowner on the
edge of Haws Pike.
Police Officer Lloyd Reed was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance call at a home at 131 Ligonier Street, in New Florence.
He was fatally shot by the subject as he arrived at the location. Despite being wounded, Officer Reed was able to return fire and wounded the subject. The man fled the scene but was arrested by members of the Pennsylvania State Police approximately six hours later suffering a gunshot wound in the shoulder.
Officer Reed was transported to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Officer Reed had served with the St. Clair Township Police Department for five years and had served in law enforcement for a total of 25 years.
FYI
"He was fatally shot by the subject as he arrived at the location. Despite being wounded, Officer Reed was able to return fire and wounded the subject"
Prayers for the family. RIP Officer Reed.
Thanks, it’s in the post right above yours.
Usually I would of heard this call but grandkids have control of the computer thus I don’t hear calls. Indiana county 912 had the fire call listed. This is so terrible.
