YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — Three people have died, and two others are wounded following an officer-involved shooting in North Codorus Township Wednesday, sources close to the investigation tell CBS 21 News.
Multiple police and fire agencies have been offering condolences to the officers from the Northern York County Regional Police Department and sheriff's office in the shooting.
This is the second time officers from the NYCRPD have been involved in a shooting in 2025.
The York County Coroner confirmed to CBS 21 they were called to a reported officer-involved shooting in North Codorus Township Wednesday afternoon.
Fraternal Order of Police Vice President Joe Gamaldi said in a statement online that a person opened fire on police officers while they were serving a warrant.
A number of officers shot was not given but WellSpan earlier confirmed to CBS 21 that it is treating two people in serious condition from the incident and that the hospital is on lockdown.
A WellSpan representative told CBS 21:
Wellspan York Hospital is currently treating two individuals related to the police incident in North Codorus Township. Both are in serious condition. Enhanced security protocols are in place at the hospital. We will share more details as they become available.
The Harrisburg branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) stated it has special agents assisting at the scene.
The Spring Grove School District posted to its website, saying that all district schools between K-12 had to shelter in place "due to an officer-involved incident" that is unrelated to students and staff.

The district said local authorities advised the district to hold all staff and students in the buildings as a precaution.
That shelter in place has since ended as of 4:10 p.m.
Ted Czech, the public information officer for York County, confirmed that a call initially came in around 2:10 p.m. for a police incident.
Governor Josh Shapiro released a statement online shortly after the incident saying he is on his way to the area, asking "those in the area to please follow the directions of local law enforcement and PA State Police."
CBS 21 has a crew at the scene and at WellSpan Hospital, where Shapiro is expected to address the media at 6 p.m.
Earlier, Attorney General Dave Sunday posted that he's been briefed on the situation and is heading to the scene:
I am en route to the area and am praying for all involved.
Czech met with media at the scene but could not confirm the circumstances of the incident and, when asked if any officers were injured, he stated he could not disclose anything at the moment.
