Authorities: Man Shoots At Officers Executing Search Warrant In Reading
READING, Pa. (AP) - Law enforcement officers serving a search warrant at an apartment building in Reading early Friday were shot at by a suspect, authorities said, but no injuries were reported and the man soon surrendered. Reading police and members of the Berks County District Attorney's narcotics unit had gone to the building around 6:30 a.m.
They were walking up some stairs when the suspect fired about four shots through the door of the second-floor apartment that was to be searched, authorities said.
No officers were struck and none returned fire, authorities said. The suspect, whose name was not released, surrendered about 15 minutes later.
It wasn't clear what charges the suspect would face.
