Unconfirmed reports out of a northwest New Jersey town at the Pennsylvania border were that an active shooter was taken into custody Monday night.
Portland, PA Mayor Heather Fischer said in a social media post that she was told of the arrest shortly after 8 p.m. Feb. 12.
A shelter-in-place was lifted within the hour, authorities said.
Warren County Prosecutor James L. Pfeiffer reportedly said two people were hospitalized. The extent of injuries couldn’t immediately be determined.
New Jersey State Police and other law enforcement remained in the area late into the night as an investigation proceeded.
It all apparently began with a domestic incident on Columbia Street in Knowlton Township, directly across the Delaware River from Portland.
State Police troopers from various barracks immediately responded, along with multiple ALS and BLS units, shortly before 8 p.m.
Area roadways were closed in addition to the shelter-in-place.
The shooter — said to be “covered in tattoos” — was reportedly taken into custody near or on Route 46 just minutes later.
