Lorain Police Department officer Phillip Wagner, 35, was critically wounded in what police described as an "ambush attack." He died on Thursday in a hospital "despite the valiant efforts of fellow officers, first responders and medical professionals," the Lorain Police Department said.

Authorities say the shooting of three Lorain Police Department officers was a targeted attack on law enforcement. The gunman was shot and killed at the scene.

Three police officers were wounded and a man was killed in an exchange of gunfire early Wednesday afternoon in an industrial area of Lorain, Ohio.
