"This is a man who served his country over there with U.S. Marshals service helping to stand up justice, the judicial system in Afghanistan", said Marshal Martin Pane.
"Harrisburg mourns the loss this morning of a US marshal who died protecting our residents", Papenfuse said in a statement.
Pagerly, 28, died a few months before the birth of his first child; Hill, 45, is survived by his wife and two children.
The mayor included the Harrisburg officer "boldly returned discharge and fundamentally injured the gunman".
"It will be a straightforward process to have the tickets waived", he said.
The marshal died at a hospital after the shooting, which happened at a home near South 19th and Mulberry streets this morning, according to a PennLive report.
"Chris is just one of those guys that rises to the top", Pane said at the press conference.
"I am in constant contact with law enforcement, and grateful for their swift action", he said.
Pierce is in custody, according to U.S. Marshals.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Christopher David Hill was part of a task force executing a warrant on a fugitive in a residential neighborhood of Harrisburg. Chardo also says they are investigating the scene and will have more information on the officers who were shot and the ongoing investigation around two this afternoon.
Harrisburg Police Chief Thomas Carter would not release the names of the injured officers and said he was trying to notify their families.
"Chris is the cream of the crop. One of our best". Pierce was found with several children on the second floor of the home.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf ordered state flags to fly at half-staff in Hill's honor until his interment.
"They achieve these critical accomplishments at often heroic risk".
Hill also served with the Marshal Service's prestigious and highly-trained Special Operations Unit.
