A police officer was killed and a gunman died in a shootout at a central Pennsylvania hospital Saturday, according to officials. 

Officer Andrew Duarte passed away in the line of duty while attending to a call concerning an active threat at UPMC Hospital in York, Pa at 10:43 a.m. 

“Our community grieves the loss of a hero,” reads a Facebook post by the department. 

The incident did not result in any harm to patients, and Pennsylvania State Police confirmed that the 104-bed hospital, spanning five stories, has been secured following the shooting. 

It’s unclear if there were any other injuries. 

“At this time, the shooter is deceased and there is no danger to the public. The hospital is secured,” the statement says. ‘

To ensure safety, UPMC Hospital requested off-duty employees to remain at home and advised visitors to park in a designated area across from the hospital, shared Susan Manko, UPMC’s vice president of public relations. 

State and local authorities, as well as the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were assisting in the investigation, according to authorities.  

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro had been briefed and was on the way to the hospital just after 1 p.m. Saturday, according to a post on his X account. 

A press conference on the incident will be announced, according to state officials.
