State police trooper Melinda Bondarenka said the officers were “ambushed upon their arrival” at the scene and immediately shot. They were taken to hospital, where Canonsburg officer Scott Leslie Bashioum, age 52, died. “It is my sad duty to announce that one officer is deceased and the other officer has been flown to a Pittsburgh hospital,” Warco told reporters.
