Original story:
Police were called to West North Street in the city just after midnight Monday morning for reports of a shooting.
Investigators said one man is dead. His name was not released.
The Luzerne County coroner said the victim died from multiple gunshot wounds and classified the death as a homicide.
"Yeah, I'm listening, you know five shots, and then I opened the window. I see somebody cry, you know, in the street," recalled neighbor Victor Rivera.
Rivera said he then called 911.
"The people crying, you know, saying, 'Please call the police! Call the ambulance!' I call the police. I call the police, you know, the police come here."
Police say they responded to the scene around midnight and found two women sitting on the sidewalk bleeding from gunshot wounds. They are expected to recover.
Police also found a man lying dead in the street with a gunshot wound to the head.
Investigators are not saying what led to the shooting, but they also say this was not a random act, and the public is not in danger. Still, it's still leaving neighbors on edge.
"Weary, you know, because you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, the next day, and it's always at night. I'm glad I'm asleep at night," Mike Stoffick said.
One neighbor said the gunfire followed what sounded like an argument farther down Darling Street. Others aren't surprised by that.
"Changed a real lot, yeah. Yeah, it used to be a quiet street. Now, as you can see, there's cops parked on the street. I don't know why, but there's always cops on this street anymore," Stoffick said.
Attorney Lawrence Kansky says he was working late, preparing for upcoming cases when he heard gunfire.
"I heard five gunshots. There were two, and then a slight pause and then three more gunshots. I looked out the window, and there was a brown car on Darling Street, and it sped away, and Then I heard females, multiple females, screaming and crying for help," Kansky said.
That's when Kansky says he called the police.
"I grabbed my gun, I called 911, and I came out on my porch, and by the time I got out here, the police were here, and I saw one male who looked in pretty bad shape."
Police have not released the names of the victims, or if they have any suspects, but they are asking anyone with cameras in this area to contact police; something caught on those cameras may help them in this investigation.
