Police have requested SWAT because the man is barricaded on the second floor. Wife was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

Pennypack is not an exclusive community anybody can live there. It’s not upscale

Yes it is usually passed down from family to family. Been on the LIST for 14 years now. Its extremely rare for anyone except for connected close family to move in there. It's generational.

God almighty, control what we can ,t not control. Hope in Jesus name the woman is ok
