Multiple family members unaccounted for at East Lansdowne home razed in a fire after two officers were shot
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said the home was still smoldering Wednesday night, preventing investigators from sifting through the ruins. He described the house as a “burned-out hollow.” On Thursday, he said, fire officials and others would begin excavation work in search of evidence.
“I will say with a heavy heart that we are afraid there might be more than one person in that house,” Stollsteimer said. “... We are so concerned about the family members who were living in that house who we have not heard from.Earlier in the day, speaking outside the hospital, the prosecutor described the harrowing scene that had unfolded earlier that day, as officers from Lansdowne, East Lansdowne, and Upper Darby responded to the call just before 4 p.m.
After the shooting, fire crews from around Delaware County responded to Lewis Avenue to combat the growing blaze. But they were delayed for nearly an hour in approaching the home by tactical crews working to clear the scene. East Lansdowne, at 0.02 square miles, is a small slice of eastern Delaware County that borders Upper Darby. It has a population of about 2,700 people, the majority of whom are Black. The borough is mostly residential, with a median household income of $54,000.
