He and another officer were ambushed and shot as they approached the home.
The subject who shot them then committed suicide inside the home after murdering his pregnant wife.
Both officers were transported to Canonsburg Hospital, where Patrolman Bashioum succumbed to his wounds. The other officer was flown to Allegheny General Hospital to undergo emergency surgery.
Patrolman Bashioum was a U.S. Air Force veteran and had served with the Canonsburg Borough Police Department for seven years.
In October 2017, Central Avenue Bridge was renamed Officer Scott L. Bashioum Memorial Bridge. The following year, the local post office was renamed Officer Scott Bashioum Post Office Building.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Patrolman Bashioum gave the Canonsburg Borough Police Department 7 years.
Thank you for your service to the Canonsburg community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
