Brothers and Sisters of Lodge #63, it is with great sadness that I report to you that earlier today in York County Pennsylvania we lost three fellow officers who were fatally shot by a perpetrator and two officers were critically injured while attempting to serve a warrant believed to stem from a domestic incident which occurred yesterday.
Please pray for our brothers and sisters in York County tonight as they are suffering through this tragic time.
Pray for their families and friends, pray for all members of law enforcement, EMS, doctors, nurses and all those affected by this tragedy. Give them strength and courage through our hearts and prayers.
As we proceed forward, always remember to be vigilant for your safety, especially in the midst of these difficult and dangerous times in our country. It seems that now more than ever we are being targeted at an unprecedented level.
It is sad that it has come to this. Please maintain an alert status at all times. Never become too comfortable or familiar during those routine calls. Especially those where it seems like the “same old thing again”.
God bless our brothers and sisters again in York County tonight and God Bless you all out there in your service to your communities. Stay safe everyone.
Don Bishop, President FOP Lodge #63
