2 in custody after SWAT team responds to gun fight

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Two people are in custody after a gun fight Sunday night on Cortez Road in Jefferson Township, Lackawanna County.

Police say they have a middle-aged husband and wife in custody after they confirmed a fire fight happened between the two suspects on Sunday night.

"There was also the worry of the male being barricaded in the house, and he had a history of being suicidal, even going as far as saying he wished to get into a fire fight with the Jefferson Twp. Police and win,"  said Jefferson Township Police Chief Richard Bacon.
