Lebanon shoot-out brings Pa. law enforcement deaths to three so far this year
it marked the third law enforcement death this month in Pennsylvania.The Lebanon officer, whose name was not released by city officials Thursday, was killed shortly before 4:30 p.m., nearly an hour after police had initially responded to what was dispatched as a domestic violence call. Two other officers were also shot, though they were both considered to be in stable condition as of Thursday night.
The Lebanon incident comes just as, in another corner of the state, two Pennsylvania State Police troopers are being laid to rest this week afterIn that incident, Troopers Marty Mack and Branden Sisca were struck and killed shortly before 1 a.m. while responding to a call of a man wandering in traffic along the southbound lanes of the highway.
Webb is charged with three counts of third-degree murder, three counts of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, and two counts of second-degree manslaughter of a law enforcement officer. “My heart goes out to Lebanon City Police Department. A sobering reminder of the dangers our brave men and women in uniform face day after day. And they keep showing up, running *towards* danger anyway. My thoughts are with the officers and their families.”
