Police have responded to reports of a hostage situation and multiple people shot in eastern Lancaster County at a small, one-room Amish schoolhouse.
PICTURES: Scene
The scene is along the 4800 block of Mine Road in Bart Township. Witnesses told News 8 reporter Anne Shannon that a man went into school and took hostages. Some people in the Amish community learned about the situation and contacted police. Witnesses told Shannon that this is tragedy not ever seen before in Lancaster County. Shannon also said that the hostage situation is over. Officials said the hostage taker is deceased.
Gotta love happy endings.
It's interesting to note that the Amish are ideologically pacifists. They're unwilling to raise a hand against a fellow man even in their own defense.
I wonder what they'll have to say about this outcome.
"Officials said the hostage taker is deceased."
Ok, is this Night of the Living Dead?
