When state troopers Joseph Perechinsky and William Jenkins were tasked Thursday morning with checking on a call of shots fired at a home in rural northeastern Pennsylvania, they had no idea about the danger they were driving toward.

Both troopers were in stable condition, according to state police. An EMT was injured and two people were killed during the incident.

A 61-year-old man fatally shot a neighbor in rural Pennsylvania then ambushed responding state troopers, wounding two, police said.
