Christopher Gebhart Condemned for Celebrating Deadly York County Police Shooting
NORTH CODORUS TOWNSHIP, PA — September 17, 2025 — Outrage is growing after a man identified as Christopher Thomas Gebhart was seen celebrating the tragic shooting of law enforcement officers in York County, Pennsylvania.
The shooting occurred Wednesday afternoon near 1879 Harr Road in Spring Grove, when police were serving a warrant.
The situation escalated into a violent confrontation, leaving at least three officers dead and multiple others wounded.
Officials confirmed that five officers in total were shot, with several in grave condition.
The suspect was later found deceased from gunshot wound by the police officers.
According to law enforcement briefings, the incident began around 2:10 p.m. when York County authorities, alongside Pennsylvania State Police, attempted to serve the warrant.
A massive emergency response followed, with medevac helicopters airlifting critically injured officers to trauma centers.
WellSpan York Hospital confirmed it was treating multiple patients in serious condition, enacting enhanced security measures due to the ongoing investigation.
In the wake of the tragedy, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Austin Davis released a statement urging public support:
“Please send prayers to the officers and those involved in the shooting in York County.”
The Spring Grove School District issued a temporary shelter-in-place order, though officials clarified that no students or staff were involved in the shooting.
The Consulate of Mexico in Philadelphia also confirmed it was monitoring the incident, noting the area’s large community of migrant farm workers.
While the community is grieving, Christopher Thomas Gebhart’s reported comments mocking and celebrating the deaths and injuries of officers have drawn widespread condemnation.
Law enforcement officials and members of the public have described his behavior as disrespectful, vile, and deeply hurtful to the families and colleagues of the fallen officers.
The York County Office of Emergency Management has stressed that the investigation remains active and urged the public to avoid speculation as details continue to emerge.
This shooting has sent shockwaves through the region, just months after the UPMC Memorial Hospital shooting in February 2025, and is being remembered as one of the deadliest law enforcement tragedies in York County’s history.

Two Young Girls Found Buried in Separate Suitcases in Cleveland Identified as Amor Wilson and Mila Chatman
Mother Aliyah Henderson has been charged for double murder.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Authorities have identified the two young girls whose bodies were discovered inside separate suitcases buried in shallow graves on the city’s East Side as Amor Wilson and Mila Chatman, a tragic development in a case that has shocked the community and prompted an ongoing homicide investigation.
According to investigators, the girls were found Monday evening in a field near East 162nd Street and Midland Avenue in the South Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland.
The area is located near Ginn Academy.
Family members shared that a photograph circulating online shows the sisters during a doctor’s appointment in 2019, when they were accompanied by their mother and grandmother.
At the time the photo was taken, Amor was just 3 years old and Mila was 1 year old. Today, Amor would have been 10 years old, and Mila would have been 8 years old.
Mother Aliyah Henderson has been charged for double murder.
The grim discovery was made when a man walking his dog in the area noticed the animal repeatedly alerting to a scent near a fence line.
Investigating further, the man located a partially buried suitcase and contacted authorities.
Officers with the Cleveland Division of Police responded to the scene shortly after 6 p.m. and discovered a shallow grave containing a suitcase with the body of a child inside.
As officers and homicide detectives expanded their search of the surrounding field, they located a second shallow grave nearby containing another suitcase with the body of a second child.
The man who initially discovered the suitcase later told investigators that his dog ran toward the area near a playground where the luggage had been partially buried.
After unzipping the suitcase and seeing a child’s head, he immediately called 911.
During an earlier news conference, Dorothy Todd, chief of the Cleveland Division of Police, described the discovery as a “terrible, horrific situation.”
“This is a traumatic event for our officers and for the community,” Todd said. “This is just such a tragic incident, but we are trying to develop any leads we can. That’s why we are also asking for the community’s help.”
Authorities initially estimated that the victims were between 8 and 14 years old. At the time of the discovery, there were no active missing child reports in Cleveland that matched the girls’ descriptions, adding further complexity to the investigation.
Investigators have also indicated that the remains may have been in the area for some time, though an exact timeline has not yet been determined.
“We know that this didn’t just happen,” Todd said. “We still have to determine exactly when this occurred. At this time, we do not have any indication that there is a clear threat to public safety.”
Officials with the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office have taken custody of the bodies and are continuing forensic examinations to determine the cause and manner of death. Authorities have confirmed that the victims’ bodies had not been dismembered.
The case remains under active investigation as detectives work to reconstruct the events leading up to the girls’ deaths and identify those responsible.
Authorities are urging anyone with information that could assist the investigation to contact the Cleveland Police Homicide Unit. Additional details are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
