West York police officer Andrew Duarte knew he’d been shot Saturday while confronting a gunman holding employees hostage in the ICU at UPMC Memorial Hospital. But Duarte, 30, ran back to the line of fire to drag a wounded officer out of harm’s way.

A police chief says the last act of an officer who was shot and killed while responding to an attack inside a Pennsylvania hospital was to help a colleague get to safety.

A police officer was killed Saturday after responding to a shooting at a central Pennsylvania hospital where the suspected gunman also was killed, officials said.

A police officer who was shot to death while responding to an armed man with hostages inside a Pennsylvania hospital intensive care unit was remembered Friday as a dedicated public servant who did not hesitate to run toward danger and died a hero.
