HARRISBURG (AP) -- Two people were shot and killed in a home in Pennsylvania's capital early Wednesday by a man who led police on a car chase that ended with him crashing into a school bus carrying several students, authorities said. No children were injured.
Three other people were wounded in the shooting in Harrisburg shortly before 7 a.m., police said. The victims were found inside a home.
Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo told WGAL-TV that police were in the area serving an unrelated search warrant when they were approached by a young girl who had blood on her. The child directed officers to a home where the victims were found. The two people killed were adults, Chardo said, while another child was among the wounded.
The suspect drove away from the scene and police followed, authorities said. The chase ended not long after, as officers deployed a spike strip across the road to stop the suspect's vehicle shortly before he crashed into a school bus in Londonderry Township.
The bus was carrying students who attend a Catholic school in Elizabethtown, State Trooper Megan Ammerman said. All the students safely got off the bus and were later taken to their school.
A Lower Swatara police officer was injured when their leg was struck by the suspect's car as the spike strip was deployed, authorities said. The officer's name and further information on their condition was not disclosed.
The 31-year-old suspect's name has not been released, and it wasn't clear if he was injured. He was expected to face several charges, authorities said, but none had been filed as of late Wednesday afternoon.
A possible motive for the shooting has not been disclosed.
