A man was shot and killed in Greene County after a domestic situation ended with troopers exchanging gunfire with him.

Troopers say they responded and obtained an arrest warrant for Fonner just before 5 p.m. He allegedly refused to exit the home, so the Pennsylvania State Police Special Emergency Response Team was called. According to officers, around midnight, Fonner started firing a gun from inside the home at them. They returned fire and entered the home to find Fonner dead. The investigation is ongoing.
