The suspect who allegedly ambushed two Pennsylvania state troopers in a shooting Thursday afternoon has died, officials confirmed.

Pennsylvania State Police Colonel Commissioner Christopher Paras identified the suspect as 61-year-old Carmine Faino, who, after failed negotiations, was shot and killed by members of a special response team.

Troopers were called to a rural area in Hompson Township in Susquehanna County at about 11:20 a.m. on Thursday morning after receiving reports that shots had been fired in the vicinity.

The call was made by the boyfriend of 57-year-old Lori Wasko, who had been shot and killed in front of her residence near her vehicle.

U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., also acknowledged the incident, stating on social media: “Dina and I are praying for our brave state troopers in Susquehanna County and monitoring the situation closely as more details emerge.”

In a post on X, U.S. Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan Jr. wrote: “My thoughts are with them and their families. Grateful for the bravery and dedication of our law enforcement.”
