Sharon man shot to death by officer

SHARON, PA.

A domestic assault at 369 Tamplin St. resulted in the fatal shooting of Sean Marie Hake, 23, by a Sharon police officer late Friday.

According to Pennsylvania State Police’s Mercer Station, Sharon police responded to a domestic assault about 11:48 p.m. after receiving a 911 Emergency Center call reporting a stabbing at the Tamplin Street address.

After being on the scene, the incident escalated and an officer-involved shooting occurred in which Hake was shot and killed by a member of Sharon Police Department, who was placed on paid administrative leave until the investigation is complete.

State police said it would not disclose any information about the evidence in the case other than to say the scene has been processed and more interviews will be conducted.
