A U.S. marshal who was called a “hero” was shot and killed and another police officer was wounded Thursday morning in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, when gunfire erupted during the service of a warrant.
Another officer was struck but was not injured.
Christopher D. Hill, 45, an Army veteran who was part of the U.S. Marshals Service for 11 years, was killed after being shot while serving a warrant at the Harrisburg house around 6:10 a.m., the agency said. An arrest warrant was being served for Shayla Lynette Towles Pierce, who was wanted for terroristic threat offenses.
Another man who was in the house — when Pierce was being taken into custody — fired his gun from inside the house, striking Hill and York police officer Kyle Pitts. Hill was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead about 20 minutes later.
