An East Stroudsburg homeowner is charged with shooting intruders in his house.

On Tuesday at approximately 5:30 p.m., the Stroud Area Regional Police Department was dispatched to 2040 Paradise Trail in Stroud Township for a report of shots fired within the residence.

When responding officers arrived, they made contact with the homeowner and 911 caller, Randy Halterman. Officers commanded him to put down the weapon. He was escorted from the residence and placed in a patrol vehicle.

Officers found a woman who was lying on her back and claiming to have been shot in the stomach. She was calling out a name and the officers located a man nearby lying face down with no signs of life.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds. He was identified as 20-year-old Adam Schultz from East Stroudsburg. The woman was transported to a hospital via helicopter. The woman suffered two gunshot wounds, one to the upper chest and one to the abdomen.

Halterman told police he was in his home on the second floor and had heard a noise which he thought was an animal. Approximately a half-hour later, he heard another sound which he believed was people talking inside his home. Halterman stated that he heard a mans voice talking to someone and mentioning items that were in the home.

Halterman retrieved his .22 caliber handgun and pointed it in the direction of the voices. Halterman proceeded to move a curtain that he uses as a divider and he saw two people that were approximately 10 feet from where he was. He stated that both were holding flashlights so he fired one shot at each.

He said that the two had fled and were going toward the stairs that lead to the first floor exit. Halterman saw the two on the bottom of the stairs and fired approximately four more shots. Halterman then called 911.

Randy Halterman, 66, was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, attempted criminal homicide and aggravated assault.

He was arraigned Wednesday morning by District Justice Germano. Bail was denied.

He is currently incarcerated at the Monroe County Correction Facility.
