Clarence Bernard Childs, 29, was found dead inside a home on the 2200 block of Newville Road in West Pennsboro Township after a standoff that began on the evening of Sunday, March 13, 2022. State Police responded to a reported shooting and located a man outside with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound; initial reports indicated someone believed to be armed remained inside. A perimeter and shelter-in-place were put in place, and the scene was not cleared until the early morning of Monday, March 14, when officers entered the residence and discovered Childs deceased.

Childs had moved to Carlisle in his early teens, graduated from Carlisle High School, and was a father to a son and two daughters. He had recently enrolled at Triangle Tech and was remembered for his love of football, music, working out, and being there for his children and friends. Authorities described the shooting as an isolated incident and said there was no ongoing threat, but no suspects or arrests have been publicly named and the investigation was ongoing.

Did anyone who knew Clarence or who was in the area that night see anything that could help investigators?
