At least six people, including children, are unaccounted for after a house fire that saw two police officers shot during an active shooter situation near Philadelphia.
Police responded to reports of an 11-year-old girl being shot in East Lansdowne, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, around 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday, though it is unclear if a child was actually shot, reported NBC10.
While on scene, a fire broke out in the home and officials said a large family was living in the home and at least six to eight people remain unaccounted for, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia.
'We're aware that there are at least six to eight people who are unaccounted for from that family. It is our terrible fear that they may be inside that house when it was burned,' said Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer.
'We are hopeful that that is not true. But we will not know until tomorrow morning.'
