EAST LANSDOWNE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities were searching the charred remains of a suburban Philadelphia home, a day after a shootout and fire that left two police officers wounded. At least six people are unaccounted for. Heavy machinery moved into the neighborhood as investigators prepared to search the home for the missing people. Officials in Delaware County say officers were called to the house in East Lansdowne on Wednesday afternoon on a report that a child had been wounded by gunfire. One officer was shot in the arm, another in the leg. District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer says both are expected to fully recover.
