Lebanon police shooting: Here's what we know
A domestic incident turned deadly Thursday in Lebanon when a responding officer was killed, two others injured and the subject of the police call -- a Lebanon man -- fatally wounded.
In a brief news conference Friday morning, officials gave a few more details plus provided names of those involved.
Here's what we know.
What happened?
Lebanon police officers were called at 3:35 p.m. to the 1100 block of Forest Street for a "domestic disturbance," according to District Attorney Pier Hess Graf. They later determined a "forcible burglary" had occurred.
Upon entering the home, which the DA said belonged to a family member of the suspect, responding officers came under gunfire.

Who was the officer killed?
Graf identified the slain officer as Lt. William Lebo, a 40-year veteran who was one month from retirement.
"The Lebanon City Police Department acted with utter bravery and every officer deserves to be commended for the fearless actions undertaken yesterday," Graf wrote in a news release.
How are the other officers?
Officer Ryan Adams, 32, was shot at the scene. He has seven years of service and is in stable condition.
Officer Derek Underkoffler, 32, was also shot and seriously injured. He also has seven years of service.

Who was the shooter and what was the domestic call about?
The subject involved was identified as Travis Shaud, 34, of Lebanon. Graf said he suffered from "years-long mental health issues," and family efforts to intervene were met with his "resistance."
Graf said a family member had returned to the Forest Street home to find Shaud had broken in. That family member called police, and four officers responded.
What are officials saying?
Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello, at a news conference Thursday, described the incident as a "very difficult moment for everyone." Lebanon City Police Chief Todd Breiner echoed this sentiment by reminding media gathered Thursday night that officers are people, too, and everyone was affected by the shooting.
"As one can only imagine, this is clearly a traumatic event," he said. "Our guys are strong but we're human. We have families and people were injured today. We're all affected by this. With the help of our families and every other law enforcement officer around this country, we'll get through it."
Who is investigating this incident?
The Lebanon County District Attorney's Office is investigating the domestic call that led to the fatal shooting.
When can we expect more information?
Another news conference will occur when the investigation concludes.
How is the community responding?
The fatal shooting comes hours after Pennsylvania State Trooper Martin Mack III was laid to rest in Bucks County on Thursday. Fellow Trooper Branden Sisca’s funeral services begin Friday. Both were killed in the line of duty in what police said was a DUI-related crash on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia on March 21.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro posted his condolences on Twitter for the Lebanon City Police Department.
"A sobering reminder of the dangers our brave men and women in uniform face day after day. And they keep showing up, running towards danger anyway," he wrote. "My thoughts are with the officers and their families."
Fraternal Order of Police State Lodge President Les Neri issued the following statement on Friday:"Lt. William Lebo unselfishly served the community for 40 years, and our deepest condolences and prayers go to his family, friends, peers and community during this heart-wrenching time. The PA FOP also extends our prayers and unending support to Officers Ryan Adams and Derek Underkoffler who were wounded and are in critical care. These three men are heroes among us. Our hearts go out to the Lebanon City Police Department in the days and weeks to come as they begin to heal.”
