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.

A police officer was killed Saturday after responding to a shooting at UPMC Memorial Hospital just outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where the suspected gunman also was killed, according to state police.

A police chief says the last act of an officer who was shot and killed while responding to an attack inside a Pennsylvania hospital was to help a colleague get to safety.

He was killed Saturday while responding to a report of a man with a gun who took hostages inside UPMC Memorial Hospital in West Manchester Township.

A police officer who was shot to death while responding to an armed man with hostages inside a Pennsylvania hospital intensive care unit was remembered Friday as a dedicated public servant who did not hesitate to run toward danger and died a hero.
