EAST LANSDOWNE, Pa.—At least six people were unaccounted for following a fire at a home that started after two police officers were called there and wounded by gunfire Wednesday, authorities said.

“Our fear is there may be multiple people inside that home who have died,” Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said. “We are hopeful that that is not true.”
