A Canonsburg police officer was shot to death and another wounded when they were ambushed while answering a domestic call early this morning in the Washington County borough.
About six hours later, Special Response Units from the surrounding area found a man and a woman dead inside a duplex at 120 Woodcrest Drive shortly before 9 a.m., according to state police. The man had fatal self-inflicted injuries, according to police.
It was unclear if one of them was the shooter; their identities have not been released. Post-Gazette news partner KDKA-TV reported that one is the shooting suspect and the other a pregnant relative.
The scene unfolded early this morning when the officers responded to a call of a domestic disturbance at 3:14 a.m. at the duplex and were ”ambushed upon their arrival,” said state police Trooper Melinda Bonderanka.
