A 61-year-old man fatally shot a neighbor in rural Pennsylvania Thursday and then ambushed responding state troopers, wounding two while firing dozens of rounds from a semiautomatic weapon, police said.
Lori Wasko’s boyfriend called 911 after 11 a.m. from their home near Thompson to report shots fired, state police Col. Christopher Paris told reporters. Wasko, 57, was shot and killed outside her home near her vehicle, police said. Police provided no information about a motive in the shooting.
A man identified as Carmine Faino, 61, shot Wasko and then shot troopers Joseph Perechinsky and William Jenkins as they were arriving, Paris said. The troopers’ police vehicles were hit by multiple bullets, he said.
Both troopers were in stable condition with serious injuries Wednesday night, he
