HARRISBURG — Attorney General Dave Sunday offered the following in response to the deaths of three police officers Wednesday afternoon in York County:
“The death of any public servant is an absolute tragedy. Learning that three officers were killed in York County where I worked for many years as a prosecutor, and where I still call home, is unfathomable.
“Having served alongside these officers, I know of their caliber, their professionalism and the lasting impact they had on our community. This loss is a heart-wrenching reminder of the sacrifices police officers and other first responders make every single day.
“They serve because they are proud, true to their oath, and selfless in their duty. They put themselves in harm’s way to protect all of us, regardless of the danger to themselves.
“I pray for the recovery of the officers who were injured, and I extend my deepest condolences to the families, colleagues, and friends these heroes leave behind. My heart breaks with yours.”
