Three police officers were killed and two others critically injured in a shooting in the

US state of Pennsylvania, while following-up on a "domestic-related" investigation,

authorities have said.

Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Colonel Christopher Paris said the gunman

was fatally shot by the police.

The incident happened just after 14:00 local time (18:00 GMT). Images from the scene

showed a police officer being airlifted in a medical helicopter.

The shooting forced a nearby school district in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania - a small

town of about 2,500 people - to briefly shelter in place. The district later said the

school had not been affected.

Officials said there was no active threat to the public.

The shooting happened in a rural area of York County in North Codorus Township,

about 100 miles (160km) east of Philadelphia.

Authorities said officers were at the scene for an investigation that had begun the day

before.

Police have not shared many of the details because the investigation was ongoing,

Commissioner Paris said.
