Three police officers in Lorain, Ohio, were shot—two critically—when a gunman ambushed them as they ate lunch in their patrol cars.

The suspect, a 28-year-old man from Lorain, opened fire with a high-powered rifle and was killed at the scene.

The attack occurred in an industrial park and appeared to be premeditated, with the gunman lying in wait.

A third officer was shot while responding to the scene.

The incident is under investigation by neighboring Elyria police, NBC News has reported.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine called it a targeted attack on law enforcement.
