An armed suspect believed to be a former firefighter was apprehended on Tuesday after taking four firefighters hostage inside a suburban Philadelphia firehouse, officials said.
Reports of an armed suspect at the LaMott Fire Company in Cheltenham Township, about 13 miles north of Philadelphia, came in to authorities at 10:40 a.m., said John Corcoran, spokesman for the Montgomery County Department of Public Safety.
About an hour later, a suspect was taken into custody, officials said.
No one was injured in the incident.
