A Pennsylvania State Police trooper wounded a Cross Roads man Monday night after the man — who had been threatening to harm himself — pointed a gun at troopers, according to a news release.

The man, Clifton Blevins, was struck multiple times by bullets. Troopers rendered first aid and called for emergency medical personnel. Blevins was taken to York Hospital for treatment.

State police will conduct an investigation and then forward their findings to York County District Attorney David Sunday, the news release states.

About 11 p.m., troopers were called to an address in East Hopewell Township for a domestic dispute. Once there, the individual who had called police told them an intoxicated Blevins had left in a black Dodge Dart, the release states.

A short time later, troopers were advised that a caller in the 5900 block of Holly Tree Court in Cross Roads was there armed with a gun and threatening to harm himself. Troopers immediately responded to the location, according to the release.

Troopers encountered Blevins as they began to approach the driveway.

"As soon as he was encountered, Blevins raised his weapon and pointed it toward the troopers who were in full uniform," according to the release. "The troopers verbally identified themselves before one of the troopers discharged their firearm, striking Blevins multiple times."

State police report that as of Tuesday morning, "Charges are being prepared for Blevins in regards to this incident."
