A Delaware state trooper was killed Tuesday during a shooting at a Division of Motor Vehicles building, authorities said. 

The Delaware State Police said it responded to an active shooter situation at a DMV location in Wilmington. Authorities later said that one suspect was in custody and that there was no longer an active shooter incident. 

“One Delaware State Trooper has been confirmed killed during this incident,” the police wrote on X. “We are continuing to assess additional injuries.”

He said state and local authorities were at the scene.

“I am praying for all of those impacted, including our brave law enforcement officers. I continue to be in touch with state officials as we all gain more information,” she wrote on social media. 

The Justice Department told Fox Philadelphia that U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wallace has dispatched prosecutors to assist with the investigation.
