Officers 'Ambushed' In Police Station Shooting

A manhunt is under way across three US states after a fatal shooting at a police barracks in Pennsylvania.

One officer was killed and another injured after they were "ambushed" outside the Blooming Grove barracks in Pike County.

Police from Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey are searching for those responsible following the shooting at 11pm local time on Friday.

Commissioner Frank Noonan told reporters: "I know a lot of people are wondering if the threat is resolved. It is not.

"The perpetrators of this heinous crime are still at large. We do not have a description or any real information about their identity."

He added that the situation was of "grave concern".

Police do not have any information about the motive but Commissioner Noonan said "this attack seems to be directed particularly at the Pennsylvania State Police".

The injured officer has undergone surgery and is in a stable condition.

Blooming Grove is a township of about 4,000 people

Local media reported that more than 100 police vehicles were dispatched to the barracks, including a SWAT team from neighbouring Lackawanna County.

Several roads have been closed and helicopters are searching the area.

Blooming Grove is about 35 miles east of Scranton and is home to 4,000 people.
