Noah Haswell, Beaver County Radio News

(Chambersburg, PA) A press conference was held yesterday by the Pennsylvania State Police at their location in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania to provide an update on the shooting incident that happened after a retail theft and pursuit on Wednesday that seriously injured two Pennsylvania State Police Troopers. The location of the incident was along Interstate 81 South at Exit 3 in Guilford Township of Franklin County, Pennsylvania. A report came in after 6 p.m. for a retail theft at a Dick’s Sporting Goods sports store in that area. Later, troopers tried to conduct a felony car stop to a gold Chevrolet van and a gunfight began as a result. The suspect, thirty-one-year-old Lamar Lorenzo Foy of Baltimore, Maryland, was shot and killed by police after he began shooting at three Pennsylvania State Police troopers after they broke the window of the vehicle on the driver’s side. Troopers then fired back at Foy, who was later found dead by one of the three troopers. The other two troopers, twenty-three-year-old Trooper Thomas Pack and thirty-one-year-old Trooper Lucas Amarose, had serious wounds after both were shot by Foy multiple times. According to Colonel Christopher Paris, the commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, Trooper Pack is recovering at home and Trooper Amarose’s condition is serious after having surgery yesterday at Wellspan York Hospital in York, Pennsylvania, which is where both troopers were lifeflighted after the incident occurred. Two women who were suspects of this incident that were occupants in the van with Foy are in the Franklin County Jail with their bail denied. Those suspects are twenty-one-year-old Amir Loren Swift and twenty-one-year-old Giadi Jaida McGowan, both of Baltimore, Maryland. Swift and McGowan, who are accused of stealing over $1,000 from the Franklin County Dick’s Sporting Goods store have charges of retail theft and offenses related to drugs.

Ruth Elaine Greene Mills (1950-2025)

Ruth Elaine Greene Mills, 75, of Hopewell Township, passed away peacefully on October 7th, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Indiana, Pennsylvania on March 25th, 1950, a daughter of the late Olive Hess Greene and Russell Greene. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters, Vivian Nestic and Gertrude Fike, her children’s father, Charles Mills and several nieces and nephews. She is survived by her loving daughters, Lori Mills and Brenda Baldwin (Brandon), her cherished grandchildren: Jordan Little, Kiley Baldwin, Aiden Baldwin, and Hunter Baldwin; as well as her nephews she helped to raise, Bob Worden and Tim Worden (Melissa), her two sisters, Marion (Mike) Shotter and Ethel (Rich) Babinec, three brothers, Robert Greene, John (Michelle) Greene and James Greene and her long time friend, Rich Mitro.

Ruth’s legacy lives on in their lives, in her art, and in the countless hearts she touched. Ruth spent her life grounded in faith, family, and creativity. She was a gifted artist who expressed her talent across a variety of mediums, pouring beauty and meaning into every piece she created. Whether through brushstroke, sewing, or craft, her art reflected not only her immense skill but also her deep faith and desire to uplift others. She excelled in other career paths as well, advancing to managerial positions as a certified diamontologist and in retail stores.

Ruth loved Jesus and Mary with all her heart and lived her life as a witness to God’s grace and love. Her greatest wish was to lead others closer to God, and she did so not only through words, but through the way she lived: full of generosity, compassion, and strength. She dedicated much of her time to charity work as a member of the Ladies of Charity and the Daughters of Jerusalem, and as an Associate of Divine Providence. Even in illness, she fought hard to live, inspiring all who knew her with her bravery, determination, and unwavering faith. She passed from this life surrounded by the love of her devoted family.

Friends will be received on Sunday, October 12th, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, who was in charge of her arrangements, and where prayers will be offered on Monday, October at 9:30 a.m. followed by a  Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. at St. John the Baptist Church, 1409 Pennsylvania Avenue, Monaca. Father Celestine Xu will be the celebrant. Interment will follow in Sewickley Cemetery, 501 Hopkins Street, Sewickley.
