A procession with law enforcement officers is planned for the Friday funeral of a Pennsylvania police officer who was shot and killed while coming to the rescue of medical personnel and patients during an attack on a hospital intensive care unit last weekend.
Family members, friends and fellow officers are expected to attend the service for West York Patrolman Andrew Duarte at Living Word Community Church in Red Lion, Pennsylvania.
York County District Attorney Tim Barker said Archangel-Ortiz appeared to have had recent contact with the intensive care unit “for a medical purpose involving another person” but didn't elaborate.
Duarte, 30, was killed while responding to a man with a gun who took hostages inside UPMC Memorial Hospital in York, Pennsylvania.
Born in Oakland, California, Duarte had served on the West York police force since 2022.
