A strange incident gets stranger


If you've been following the standoff/hostage situation involving a gun shop owner from St. Lawrence, Berks County, things got even stranger as it was revealed on WFMZ today that the wife, Taryn Fisher, has been charged with kidnapping.

Taryn and her 13-year-old son were held hostage in their home for about an hour by Jay Fisher, who co-owns the gun shop on business Route 422 with his wife.

Apparently Taryn and a friend went to a home in Lower Alsace last month and took a man hostage. The forced the man into a car and took him to the Fishers' home on Highland Avenue where Jay Fisher allegedly threatened the man with a gun. The victim calmed Jay Fisher down before fleeing from the home.

Fisher had threatened to shoot his wife and son Sunday afternoon in their home after he came downstairs and found his son asleep on the couch with a melted container of ice cream. An hour after police arrived, Fisher allowed his wife and son to leave the house before surrendering to police himself.
