A New York State Police trooper was killed while responding to a call about a suicidal and possibly armed man barricaded in his home near the Pennsylvania border, according to WPIX.

Trooper Nicholas Clark was among responders to a 3:30 a.m. 911 call from the estranged wife of school principal Steven Kiley, said State Police First Deputy Superintendent Chris Fiore at a news conference attended by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Authorities said Clark was fatally shot during the response, and Kiley was later found dead with a gunshot wound inside the home in Erwin, near Corning, reports WPIX.

The trooper was transported to a local hospital, with a flood of squad cars following and filling the hospital’s parking lot, according to the New York Daily News.
