A suspect is dead after he shot and killed his neighbor before wounding two responding Pennsylvania state troopers, including one who managed to commandeer a tractor trailer to protect drivers from gunfire driving along a state highway. Shots were also fired at a responding ambulance, which veered off State Route 171 and crashed, injuring the EMT. The suspect, Carmine Faino (61), was shot and killed after he refused to comply with commands during a barricade situation. Investigators believe Faino shot and killed his neighbor Laurie Wasko (57) while she in front of her residence. The maniac fled and then ambushed the two responding state troopers from a distant point of tactical superiority. During negotiations, Faino shot down a police drone before he was neutralized. This area was a mini-warzone for several hours. Map: Susquehanna County
