Summary:	Deputy U.S. Marshal Christopher Hill was shot and killed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania while attempting to serve an arrest warrant with other members of the Middle Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force. Members of the federal task force were executing a search warrant around 6:10 a.m. for the arrest of Shayla Lynette Towles Pierce, who was wanted by the Harrisburg Bureau of Police for terroristic threat offenses. Pierce was found with several children on the second floor of the home. After detaining and handcuffing Pierce outside the home, the USMS says a male suspect(Sturgis) opened fire on the officers from the second floor of the home, striking Hill, York City Police Officer Kyle Pitts and a Harrisburg police officer. The gunman then allegedly came outside the home and continued firing, and officers returned fire. The gunman was killed in the shootout, and Pierce was taken into custody.
