UPDATE: Standoff in Upper Saucon after suspects allegedly fire at cops
A major police response has closed roads and shut down some operations on a local golf course in Upper Saucon Township.
"They're all over," a staffer who answered the phone at Wedgewood Golf Course said of the police presence shortly before 1:30 p.m. in the area of Limeport Pike, about a mile from the Interstate 78 exit to Route 309 South. The course has gone into "a bit of a lockdown," he said, shutting down its driving range and at least a section of the full course.
A Pennsylvania State Police helicopter was flying around the area.
Authorities could not immediately confirm the nature of their response. Check back at lehighvalleylive.com for updates.
