Police Respond to New Incident at Shooting Site

CRESCO, PA (August 13, 2024) — The situation at the Oak Ridge Lane & Ridge Road residence in Cresco has taken a troubling turn. Early on Sunday, August 11, at approximately 12:30 AM, police were once again dispatched to the home, this time in response to a domestic disturbance. The eldest son of the household was reportedly holding the rest of the family at knifepoint.

Details of the Incident:

  • Massive Police Response: Eight police cars were sent to the scene, underscoring the severity of the situation. Officers were able to de-escalate the standoff, though it is unclear at this time what led to the confrontation or whether any arrests were made.
  • Community on Edge: This latest incident has only added to the unease in the neighborhood, already shaken by the drive-by shooting just a few months earlier. Residents are expressing growing concerns about the safety of the area and the potential for further violence.
  • Previous Disturbance Involving 11-Year-Old Girl: In another alarming incident on May 16, an 11-year-old girl at the same residence recently climbed out of a window and ran to a nearby Family Dollar, where she asked the staff to call 911. She reportedly felt unsafe due to her brother's behavior. Police were dispatched to the scene that day as well, adding to the growing list of concerns at this property.
  • Ongoing Investigation: Authorities continue to investigate the previous shooting while now also dealing with the aftermath of this domestic dispute. The connection between the two incidents, if any, remains unclear, but the property has certainly become a focal point for local law enforcement.

As the investigation unfolds, residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.
