The incident began around 10:40 a.m. LaMott Fire Company located at Penrose Avenue and Graham Lane. The suspect entered the firehouse and took four firefighters hostage at gunpoint. Before police arrived he fired one shot into the wall with a 9mm handgun. SWAT arrived and negotiators were able to convince the suspect to release the hostages and surrender. He gave up and surrendered without incident at around 11:50 a.m. The suspect, identified as 25-year-old Paul Jordan, had been fired by the fire company on Monday. Charges are expected to be filed. â€œVolunteers firefighters, especially in our township, are very dedicated people and they take it seriously and do a tough job with no money, no pay, but theyâ€™re dedicated to it. So when you get terminated or you lose that job for some reason, itâ€™s very traumatic to the firefighter,â€ Cheltenham Township Police Chief John Norris said.
