2 PA State Troopers Shot, Suspect Dead

SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY — Two Pennsylvania state troopers have been shot in Susquehanna County, according to officials. Their current conditions are unknown.

According to sources, the suspect "ambushed" the two troopers and is now dead. Additional details on the suspect were not immediately available.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he was heading to the scene.

"About an hour ago in Susquehanna County, two state troopers were shot. Lori and I are praying for those troopers," Shapiro said in a public appearance. "I want you to know I've communicated with Col. Paris. He is on the scene. It is an active situation and at the conclusion of this event I plan to head there myself."

A state police spokesperson, Trooper Logan T. Brouse, said the location of the shooting was along Route 171 near the village of Thomson. That’s about 40 miles (63 kilometers) north of Scranton.

Sen. Dave McCormick said in a social media post that he was monitoring the developing situation. He also expressed empathy for the troopers who were shot.

“Dina and I are praying for our brave state troopers in Susquehanna County and monitoring the situation closely as more details emerge,” McCormick posted.

U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan said on X that he was “relieved to hear the troopers involved in today’s incident in Thompson Township are expected to be in stable condition.”
