Pennsylvania State Police say the investigation led to the arrests of a father and son, 48-year-old Frank Fedor and 22-year-old Andrew Fedor, both from the East Stroudsburg area.
The owner of the gas station on Resica Falls Road in Middle Smithfield Township called police about 9 a.m. Friday to report the shots were fired shortly after midnight Thursday into the building, close to an occupied home, according to a news release from state police at Stroudsburg.

Pennsylvania had the sixth best black bear harvest in 2020, taking 3,608 bears. However, last year’s harvest was 20% lower from 2019 statewide and 24% lower in the southwestern part of the state.
In 2019, hunters set a record in harvesting 4,653 bears.
The annual average has been running 3,675 bears during the past five years, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
A big year of bear harvests is usually followed by a not-so-big year the next season, according to the commission. After a then-record harvest of 4,311 in 2011, bear kills declined to 3,632 in 2012. Following 2005’s then-record harvest of 4,164, the harvest slipped to 3,124 the next year.
