This call came in from a concerned citizen who stayed on the line with the Emergency Dispatch who directed the investigating officers to the spot where these men were hiding. The two suspects with initials D.G. (42) and K.T. (28) did not want to come out of their hiding spot at which time a warning shot was fired by police. The suspects were arrested shortly and taken to the Philipsburg Police Station where they remain in custody for further investigation.
