Authorities Respond To PA Shooting Involving Police

At least two people were seriously injured in a shooting involving police in the southern part of Pennsylvania on Wednesday, and Gov. Josh Shapiro was rushing to the scene, officials said. An investigation is occurring in the area of North Codorus Township, about 115 miles (185 km) west of Philadelphia, not far from the Maryland line, authorities said. York Hospital said it was treating two people in serious condition related to a police incident in northern York County. The hospital said enhanced security protocols are in place. “Please send prayers to the officers and those involved in the shooting in York County,” Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Austin Davis said in a social media post. A local school district issued a shelter-in-place order, though it said schools and students were not involved in the shooting. The district said in a statement that authorities “advised us to hold students and staff in our buildings as a precaution while several area roads are closed.” The Consulate of Mexico in Philadelphia said in a social media post that they were “monitoring the incident” in Pennsylvania and advised Mexican residents nearby to follow official instructions. The consulate did not provide any further information on why they were closely following the situation. South-central Pennsylvania is an apple-growing region that attracts migrant farm workers, many of them from Mexico. The response to the officers’ injuries unfolded on a rural road that winds through an agricultural area with a red barn and farm fields.

Federal Reserve Cuts Key Rate & Signals More Cuts

The Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate by a quarter-point Wednesday and projected it would do so twice more this year as concern grows at the central bank about the health of the nation’s labor market. The move is the Fed’s first cut since December and lowered its short-term rate to about 4.1%, down from 4.3%. Fed officials, led by Chair Jerome Powell, had kept their rate unchanged this year as they evaluated the impact of tariffs, tighter immigration enforcement, and other Trump administration policies on inflation and the economy. The only dissenter was Stephen Miran, the recent Trump-appointee.

Suspect In Custody After Driver Rams Car Into FBI Building Gate In Pittsburgh

A suspect has been taken into custody after a driver rammed a car into a security gate at the FBI building in Pittsburgh, then removed an American flag from the back seat and threw it over the gate before leaving. FBI spokesperson Bradford Arick says the man was taken into custody Wednesday morning after 10 a.m. No other details were immediately available. The FBI describes it as a targeted attack but confirms no personnel were injured. Christopher Giordano, an assistant special agent, says the car had a message on one of the windows. He also says the FBI is familiar with the man, who had visited the field office weeks ago with a complaint.
