A procession with law enforcement officers is planned for the Friday funeral of a Pennsylvania police officer who was shot and killed while coming to the rescue of medical personnel and patients during an attack on a hospital intensive care unit last weekend.

Authorities say a shooter entered UPMC Memorial Hospital's ICU and took staff members hostage before he was killed by police in a shootout.

A police chief says the last act of an officer who was shot and killed while responding to an attack inside a Pennsylvania hospital was to help a colleague get to safety.

A police officer who was shot to death while responding to an armed man with hostages inside a Pennsylvania hospital intensive care unit was remembered Friday as a dedicated public servant who did not hesitate to run toward danger and died a hero.
