Three law enforcement officers were killed and two others were critically wounded in a shooting in Pennsylvania on Wednesday afternoon, the state police commissioner said.

Police were apparently serving a warrant in York County when they were fired upon, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The officers were in Codorus Township following up on a domestic investigation that began Tuesday, said the state police commissioner, Col. Christopher Paris.

“There are simply no words I can offer to assuage the grief that this community has experienced,” he said.

The two surviving officers were in critical but stable condition at WellSpan York Hospital, he said.
