A U.S. marshal was reportedly killed and a federal officer was wounded when gunfire erupted during the service of a warrant.
The U.S. marshal died at the hospital, PennLive.com reported, though it’s unclear how he was injured.
Another York City Police officer assigned to the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force was shot in the incident. He was taken to the hospital and his injuries are said to be not life threatening, FOX43 reported.
Little information was released at the morning news conference, but Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo confirmed there were shots fired at a Harrisburg home around 6:10 a.m. Neighbors also told WHTM they heard dozens of shots fired.
Chardo said there was a “use of force” in the incident. The shooting suspect was “not at large” and there was no danger to the public at this time.
A news conference with more details was scheduled for 2 p.m. ET Thursday.
Pennsylvania Rep. Lou Barletta tweeted: “Please pray for the police officers injured in Harrisburg this morning. Our police are tough and put their lives on the line everyday to keep communities safe. I am praying for a speedy recovery!”

Just before Christmas, a gunman identified as Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty was shot and killed by police after firing at them near the location of Monday’s incident, according to PennLive.
I’ll bet it’s them d–n “teens” again.
I ain’t praying for no pig
What I am praying for is the reinstatement of our BoR
And for a day (or two or three) of reckoning
The good news here is not only that pigs were shot, but they’re starting to be shot upon arrival at people’s homes. (this is not the first recent incident of this).
This is showing that the general public is tired of the tyranny, and ready to fight for freedom. Police are always the first targets of a revolution, and we’re starting to see that the war is beginning.
and the idiots don’t realize they are in the middle …govt killers on one side and American nationals on the other
