FRANKLIN COUNTY, PA — An investigation is underway after a shooting incident in Antrim Township left three people injured, including two Pennsylvania State Troopers, on Wednesday evening.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Chambersburg Barracks, two troopers were responding to a call in southern Franklin County when they encountered at least one armed suspect.

The Franklin County Coroner’s Office was called to the location, suggesting at least one fatality resulted from the incident.
The shooting occurred near the intersection of Molly Pitcher Highway and Antrim Commons Drive, close to a Sheetz gas station.
Three medical helicopters were requested to the scene for multiple victims.
Pennsylvania State Police have secured the area and confirmed that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reported that the southbound lanes of Interstate 81 were shut down at Exit 3 in Antrim Township to accommodate emergency operations. Northbound lanes remained open.
