At least six people, including children, are unaccounted for, following a house fire and shooting that wounded two officers in Delaware County.
At least six people, including children, are unaccounted for, following a house fire and shooting that wounded two police officers in East Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, officials said.
The ordeal began at 3:47 p.m. when an East Lansdowne Police Officer and a Lansdowne Police Officer responded to a report of an 11-year-old girl being shot on Lewis Avenue in East Lansdowne."I was there, a cop came flying around the corner," Sharon Johnson, a crossing guard who witnessed the shooting, told NBC10."He got out and then he's in front of the house talking to two people. And then all of a sudden I heard six or seven gunshots.
Two officers were shot responding to a call in East Lansdowne in an incident that led to a massive house fire on Wednesday. Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer provided updates on the ongoing situation in an interview with NBC10. "We're not going to make entry into that house until we know that the fire is under control and that it's safe for those officers to go in there," Stollsteimer said."We don't want another single officer hurt tonight in Delaware County."
