Pennsylvania State Police Thursday identified the man shot and killed by police during an arrest warrant as Roger Wayne Ellis, 54, of Carlisle.

Police said Ellis had an active warrant for his arrest for fleeing and eluding police, as well as multiple other warrants. 

On Jan. 14, Camp Hill Police said they attempted to stop Ellis after he was identified driving a vehicle with a DUI-suspended driver's license. Police said Ellis fled from police officers attempting to stop him and committed numerous traffic offenses in the process. Ellis’ criminal history shows he had been arrested on drunken driving charges in Cumberland County in 2008 and 2011 and Adams County also in 2011.

Camp Hill Police, along with North Middleton Township Police and Newville Borough Police went to the first block of Brittney Drive in North Middleton Township at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday to serve the warrant. Responding officers verified Ellis was inside and obtained consent from the homeowner to enter the residence, according to police.

State police said their preliminary investigation of the shooting shows the officers announced and identified themselves while attempting to get Ellis to come out of the residence. He refused commands to exit the home and police got consent from the homeowner to enter the home.

State police said that at some point during the ensuing confrontation, while one of the North Middleton officers was inside the trailer, Ellis shot at him with a handgun, striking the officer in his bullet-proof vest.

State police said officers retreated from the home and established a perimeter. Ellis exited the residence and came toward the same officer he had just shot, still armed with a handgun, according to police. The officer then shot Ellis, according to police.

Police said Ellis was taken into custody as officers rendered aid, but he succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

State police said the North Middleton officer who was shot, who has not been identified, was treated at the hospital for his injuries and released.

The State Police Major Case Team continues to investigate the shooting case.

A police-involved shooting in North Middleton Township Wednesday around 3:30 p.m. left a man dead and one officer injured.

The shooting happened when officers from the Camp Hill, Newville and North Middleton Township police departments were serving a warrant at a home on Brittney Drive in North Middleton Township, according to Trooper Megan Ammerman, public information officer for the Pennsylvania State Police.

“While attempting to serve the warrant, the subject exchanged gunfire with police," Ammerman said. "An officer from North Middleton Township Police Department was struck. He is currently expected to recover from his injuries and was released from the hospital. The subject was fatally struck and pronounced deceased at the scene.”

Ammerman said the officer who was shot was wearing a bullet proof vest at the time of shooting.

Ammerman could not give any details about what preceded the shooting or who shot first. Police sealed off the area to traffic shortly after the incident occurred.

She identified the shooter as an adult male, but said police are withholding the man's identity until the next of kin can be notified. Ammerman said his name will be released Thursday.

According to Ammerman, the dead man was the only person listed on the warrant and the only one who was involved in the incident. While other houses are located nearby, Ammerman said nobody was injured other than the North Middleton Township police officer and the man who was fatally shot.

The incident remains under investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police and the scene was expected to remain active into the night. Ammerman said there is no threat to the public at this time.
