UPPER DARBY (AP) – Authorities say a former police officer being sought in a central Pennsylvania shooting was shot and killed during a confrontation with law enforcement officers at a Philadelphia-area hotel.

Police in Mount Carmel had earlier announced that 32-year-old Anthony Galla was being sought in an early Tuesday shooting in the Northumberland County borough and should be considered “armed and extremely dangerous.”

Superintendent Michael Chitwood of the Upper Darby police department said Galla had worked for a number of police departments in the county.

Chitwood says a U.S. Marshals task force including state police troopers located him at the Summit Inn in Upper Darby, and Galla was killed during a confrontation in a second-floor room.

Chitwood says the two other people with Galla are being interviewed but no charges have been filed.
