LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — Lancaster police say officers shot and killed a suspected burglar who they allege pointed a firearm at them as he was coming out of an unoccupied residence. Police said they responded to a report of a burglary in progress early Sunday. A resident of the home told them that the intruder was still inside. Police said the intruder came out of the home and then “confronted officers, and pointed a firearm at them.” They say the officers fired, striking the intruder, who later succumbed to his injuries at a hospital. His name wasn’t immediately released. The Lancaster County district attorney’s office is investigating.
