Three police officers killed in Pennsylvania shooting, with two others critical

Three police officers were killed and two others critically injured in a shooting in the US state of Pennsylvania, while serving a warrant, authorities said.

Police said the suspect in the shooting has also died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The incident happened just after 14:00 local time (19:00 BST). Images from the scene showed a police officer being airlifted out of the scene in a medical helicopter.

The shooting forced a nearby school district in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania – a small town of about 2,500 people – to briefly shelter in place. The district later said the school had not been affected.
