Cops kill shooter at Pa. capitol building

GUNMAN hellbent on shooting cops was killed in a firefight with police in Harrisburg, Pa., Friday, authorities said.

During his rampage, Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty, 51, did manage to hit one cop with a bullet, Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said. That officer is in stable condition.

El-Mofty began his spree at 4:10 p.m. when he opened fire on a Capitol Police car near the State Capitol building in Harrisburg, according to Marsico.

The gunman jumped in a car and chased a Pennsylvania State trooper into a nearby residential neighborhood with guns blazing, hitting the officer once, Marsico said.

El-Mofty, who had at least two 9mm handguns on him, then fired multiple shots at officers from the Harrisburg and Pennsylvania State police departments. He was killed during the shootout.

“There’s no doubt he was directly targeting police officers,” Marsico said. The DA added that El-Mofty recently traveled to the Middle East.

The FBI has joined the investigation.

“This could have been a really tragic incident,” Marsico explained.
