THOMPSON, Pa. (AP) — Two Pennsylvania State Police troopers were shot Thursday morning, Gov. Josh Shapiro said at an event outside Philadelphia.

“About an hour ago in Susquehanna County, two state troopers were shot. Lori and I are praying for those troopers,” Shapiro said. “I want you to know I’ve communicated with Col. Paris. He is on the scene. It is an active situation and at the conclusion of this event I plan to head there myself.”

Christopher Paris heads the Pennsylvania State Police.

The shooting occurred in northeastern Pennsylvania.

A state police spokesperson, Trooper Logan T. Brouse, reported that the incident occurred along Route 171 near the village of Thomson, approximately 40 miles (63 kilometers) north of Scranton.

Sen. Dave McCormick mentioned in a social media update that he was keeping an eye on the evolving situation and expressed his sympathy for the injured troopers.

“Dina and I are praying for our brave state troopers in Susquehanna County and monitoring the situation closely as more details emerge,” McCormick posted.

U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan shared on X his relief upon hearing that the troopers involved in the Thompson Township incident are anticipated to be in stable condition.
