The incident began about 10:30 a.m., the law enforcement sources said. Officers from the West York Police Department responded and the subject opened fire.
The suspect then apparently tried to barricade himself inside the hospital and it is believed he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, law enforcement sources said.
Investigators at this point are treating the shooting as a domestic violence incident, but cautioned the investigation is in its early stages.
