A prosecutor says there's "no doubt" that a gunman who fired at police in several locations in Pennsylvania's state capital, wounding one of them, was targeting police officers.

El-Mofty was killed during a shootout with local and state police. Authorities say he was armed with two handguns. The trooper struck is "doing well" and expected to make a full recovery.

El-Mofty has ties to the Middle East and recently traveled there, but the motive for the attack isn't yet known. Marsico asked for information from the public about El-Mofty.
