Pennsylvania shooting: Suspect ID'd, new details on timeline before shooting

Officials in Pennsylvania provided new details on the shooting that left three officers dead.

Five police officers were shot and three were killed in a shooting in York County, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, authorities said.

“They were there to follow up on an investigation that began yesterday. The general heading of that investigation, I would say, would be domestic related,” Col. Christopher Paris, Pennsylvania State Police commissioner said.

Investigators say during the interaction, a gunman – later ID'd as 24-year-old Matthew James Ruth – opened fire on police officers.

York County District Attorney Tim Barker described the timeline of events before the deadly shooting. According to court documents, police were called to her home a day before the shooting after she reported that a man wearing camouflage was standing in her driveway peering into her home with binoculars.

The woman spotted the man on a trail camera that she had installed after her truck had intentionally been lit on fire about a month ago, according to the affidavit.

Police later found the suspect's black Ford Ranger pickup truck unoccupied on the roadside just around the corner from the victim's property.

In further conversations with police, court documents say that the victim speculated that the person standing in her driveway and the person who lit her truck on fire may have been her ex-boyfriend, Matthew Ruth.

She told police that she and Ruth only dated for a short period of time, and that Ruth had never been to her house during their brief relationship.

North Codorus Township, PA is about 110 miles west of Philadelphia.
