An officer was killed and multiple people were injured in a shooting reported at UPMC Memorial Hospital on Innovation Drive and Roosevelt Avenue in York County on Saturday afternoon. West York Borough Police say one of their officers has been killed.

Officer Duarte had just celebrated his 30th birthday on Feb. 17, less than a week before Saturday’s shooting, according to the York County Coroner’s Office. He had been a West York police officer since June 2022 after serving five years with the Denver Police Department in Colorado.

Violence at hospitals is on the rise, often in emergency departments but also maternity wards and intensive care units, hospital security consultant Dick Sem said.
