I have a few questions...
Why did they mention the Mexican community? Do you believe that this may be a hate crime?
Why would a consulate be called?
Do you think this could be ambush on the police similar to the one on firefighters recently?

I hope the officers will be ok.

Signal 13 = Signal 13, or Code 13, refers to "Major Disaster Activation," indicating a significant emergency requiring a coordinated response from multiple agencies.

Understanding Signal 13​

Signal 13 is part of the police code system used by law enforcement agencies to communicate effectively during emergencies. When a Code 13 is issued, it signifies a major disaster that necessitates immediate action and resource mobilization. This could involve natural disasters, mass casualty incidents, or other large-scale emergencies that pose a serious threat to public safety.

(I had to look it up)

Five officers! Someone committed this heinous crime over a warrant? What was the warrant for, do we know yet?

I'm thinking drug cartel could be an additional possibility yet it remains unclear until we hear further details.

So horrified to hear about this shooting of more law enforcement personnel. Praying there are survivors. And praying for the families impacted.

That's exactly my first thought, why would 5 officers be involved in serving a warrant? What is going on

That makes sense. Unfortunately, 3 officers are confirmed dead.

I have a feeling we don't know much, because it's still too dangerous to go there.

Could be completely wrong but it seems like there have been way more mass shootings of officers recently

 

[brib809]

I think five is a relatively normal amount of officers for someone who isn’t considered overly dangerous. I am sure if there were any indications that there could be violence there would have been a lot more on scene

 

[Eli9]

I'm heartbroken for the loss of lives who were serving their community. It's such a gut punch that 3 lives were taken. Praying for their families, department and those who they have touched throughout the course of their employment. All of them are going to be dealing with a lot.

Three police officers killed in horror 'Signal 13' shooting

Multiple people are dead, and several police officers were injured after a shooting in York County, Pennsylvania , on Wednesday.

www.dailymail.co.uk

The Mexican Consulate said it was 'monitoring the incident that occurred this afternoon in North Codorus Township, Pennsylvania,' on X and that the 'Mexican community is advised to follow official instructions.'

The post has since been deleted.
Hmmm....

Rest in eternal peace to the law enforcement officers.
What a gut punch.
Prayers for the critical 4th one.
Just doing their job.
These are the people you call if someone's breaking into your house at night or if you've been carjacked, etc.
We expect these officers to take a bullet for us if there's danger.

I'm thinking drug cartel could be an additional possibility yet it remains unclear until we hear further details.

That occurred to me as well.
Omo.

Thanks for sharing this link, @Dotta .
Noticed what looks like ginseng frames in the top photo, also other photos showed farm equipment.
A rural area ?
Curious what the warrant was for.
Obviously the police didn't expect that much danger.
Imo.
