Possibly an officer shot

http://triblive.com/news/adminpage/9531460-74/officer-police-florence#axzz3sqfsm1ua


Police and medics raced to New Florence just after 9 p.m. Saturday for a report of an officer shot near 131 Ligonier St. minutes before.
Officers at the scene were searching for the man who allegedly shot the officer, who had responded to a domestic disturbance, authorities said. The officer's condition wasn't immediately available.
The suspect was described as a white man in his 20s with blonde hair.
Earlier in the evening, state and local police earlier got a report of a fight at the home, where a woman was assaulted, authorities said.
The woman told Westmoreland County 911 that the man had left and the house was filling with smoke.
Five minutes later, 911 received a frantic radio call. “Officer down! Officer down!”

I've been listening for about 30 min - PD can't find where they're staging, many couldn't find the proper roads. Seems like a pretty heavily wooded area

Sounds like they're staged up on Creek Rd. south of the river and have been asking for FLIR/Imaging equipment

Trying to stay low profile - lights off.

Scanner will probably be quiet for a bit - they pushed all non-priority traffic off so the radios weren't squawking in the woods

they got him



A St. Clair Township police officer died after being shot while responding to a domestic dispute Saturday night in New Florence.

Officer Lloyd Reed was shot around 9:15 p.m. at a house on Ligonier Street. He was taken to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, where he died.

VIDEO: Watch David Kaplan's report

Ray Shetler Jr., 31, is accused of shooting Reed, state police said. Shetler was caught six hours after the shooting near a power plant outside New Florence.

Shelter was treated for a gunshot wound to his shoulder.

The New Florence Fire Chief said the call for the domestic dispute came first, followed by a call for a structure fire.

It's a shame it didn't enter his shoulder and exit his fucking head.

RIP, Officer Reed.
