Police rescue 2 women held hostage 31⁄2 hours at UPS facility
An armed man entered a UPS processing facility Monday morning, took two women hostage and barricaded himself in a room with them for 3½ hours until police moved in to rescue the women in a confrontation that left the suspect with gunshot wounds.
The women escaped without serious injuries while the gunman's condition remained unknown after the standoff in Logan Township, about 20 miles south of Philadelphia, Gloucester County Prosecutor Charles Fiore said.
The gunman wasn't identified by authorities. Officials believe he had a prior relationship with one of the hostages, according to Fiore.
