BERWICK — Police in Berwick shot a man on Monday afternoon at the BIDA Complex. Police say 35-year-old James Calderone drove to the Berwick Industrial Development Association after a domestic dispute Monday afternoon, crashed his car, and opened fire. Calderone was armed with a handgun and an assault rifle at the time of the incident.
Berwick investigator Greg Martin suffered a shrapnel wound when a bullet hit a metal utility tower near police. Police said that Calderone works at the Berwick Offray warehouse. They’re investigating whether he was trying to commit “suicide by cop” since he was well armed and shot at police first, despite orders to drop his weapons. Calderone was airlifted to Geisinger Medical Center where is in critical condition. (WKOK Staff)
