EAST LANSDOWNE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say two police officers have been wounded by gunfire at a home in suburban Philadelphia that was later set on fire and consumed by the flames. Emergency 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. Officers immediately came under fire. One was shot in the arm, another in the leg. Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer says both are expected “to be perfectly fine.” Intense flames were seen consuming the three-story home, which has been largely gutted. There is no immediate word on the condition of anyone inside.
