In the United States, three police officers lost their lives and two others were critically injured in a shooting incident in Pennsylvania’s Codorus Township, according to local media reports.  State Police Commissioner Christopher Paris confirmed the deaths and said the gunman was also killed during the confrontation yesterday.

He declined to share further details about the nature of the investigation. Governor Josh Shapiro said that the officers were responding to a domestic investigation when gunfire erupted. Authorities have not released the identity of the suspect or specified which agencies the slain officers were serving at the time.

US Attorney General Pamela Bondi condemned the violence, calling the attack a scourge on US society and confirmed that federal agents were assisting local authorities in the investigation.
