Two police officers are in stable condition after they were shot while responding to a call for a child shot in East Lansdowne Wednesday afternoon.
Two officers were shot in East Lansdowne, Pennsylvania Wednesday afternoon after coming under fire while responding to reports of a child shot. Around 3:45 p.m., police received a call claiming an 11-year-old girl had been shot inside a home on Lewis Avenue. Officers from East Lansdowne and multiple neighboring departments rushed to the scene. As officers approached the home, officials say a gunman opened fire.
We don’t know who was in the house, we don’t know who the shooter was, we don’t know how many people were in there, we don’t know their status, we don’t know if they’re alive," Stollsteimer said. In an update provided by Stollsteimer at around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, he confirmed the crime scene is still under lock down as the house fire is too dangerous for authorities to go inside. The DA said the victim's family had a lot of people living in the house, including children.
