<p>Two state troopers were shot while responding to a deadly domestic dispute in northeastern Pennsylvania on Thursday, according to multiple law enforcement officials, with Pennsylvania State Police describing the shooting as an ambush.</p>
<p>The incident occurred shortly after 11 a.m. following a "call involving possible gunfire," Pennsylvania State Police Col. Christopher Paris told reporters.</p>
<p>When the troopers responded to a Susquehanna County home where a woman said she was involved in a domestic dispute, a man exchanged gunfire with the troopers, according to multiple law enforcement officials.</p>

<p>"Upon their arrival, they were immediately fired upon and ambushed," Paris said.</p>
<p>One trooper was shot in the chest and the back and needed surgery, the officials said, and another trooper was shot in the arm.</p>
<p>The female caller was pronounced dead, the officials said.</p>
<p>An EMS worker was also injured while "trying to help others at the scene," Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said.</p>

<p>The suspect fled the scene and barricaded himself in a nearby barn, according to the officials.</p>
<p>Police said he refused to comply with commands, and the law enforcement officials said tactical teams shot and killed him. The suspect, who was not named, was armed with a rifle, according to police.</p>
<p>The suspect was later confirmed dead, and authorities say there is no threat to the public. The scene remains active as investigators work to piece together exactly what happened.</p>

<p>The troopers, identified as Joseph Perechinsky and William Jenkins, were seriously hurt and are hospitalized in stable condition, police said.</p>
<p>Perechinsky was able to apply a tourniquet to his partner, Paris said.</p>
<p>"Despite both of their patrol cars being riddled with bullets, a third trooper was able to get in and evacuate them," Paris said.</p>
<p>Paris said the two injured troopers are "very lucky to be alive."</p>

<p>"He quite likely almost saved the life of his partner," Shapiro told reporters.</p>
