LONG POND, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso stated in a release that he believes a Venezuelan prison gang is responsible for two shootings in the last year. The shootings have been linked to Venezuelan street gang Trena de Aragua (Train to Aragua) or TdA, according to Mancuso. This comes after several interviews with party attendees, done by Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department, who have expressed fear of retaliation by the gang. On January 12, two people were shot at a residence on the 1300 block of Clover Road that resulted in the death of 22-year-old Lionardo Hernandez Zarata, of Venezuela. Officials say he booked the private residence for a party to celebrate his birthday.

Brown Introduces Legislation to Support Volunteer Firefighters In communities across Pennsylvania, volunteer firefighters play a critical role in ensuring our safety and security. These dedicated men and women respond to emergencies at all hours, often risking their lives to protect others. The number of volunteer firefighters has plummeted from approximately 360,000 in the 1970s to just 30,000–38,000 today. This sharp decline is not just a statistic—it’s a growing threat to public safety and the long-term viability of our fire services. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to create the Pennsylvania Volunteer Firefighter Incentive Fund.
