Officer kills man during central Pa. standoff
Police in Lancaster County say 41-year old Larry Dean Marsh was shot early Wednesday after a lengthy standoff outside his home in the Green Acres Mobile Home Park in Earl Township.
State police said in a statement that Marsh had called 911 just before 1 a.m. and indicated that he wanted "police to shoot him."
Police said he was shot several hours later by an officer after he aimed the .22 caliber rifle at officers.
Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman said he has asked state police to investigate. Corporal Robert Courtwright of the Ephrata barracks says a preliminary investigation indicates that officers acted appropriately.
