State police have identified a masked intruder who was fatally shot in a Hunlock Creek home invasion Tuesday.
Robert Muntz, 44, of Sweet Valley, was killed at 59 Old Tavern Road, said Trooper Tom Kelly, spokesman for state police at Wyoming. In March 2009, Muntz was one of 22 charged in connection with a drug ring allegedly operated by the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.
A female occupant of the home was shot Tuesday, but was expected to survive, police said.
Witnesses told investigators three masked people - two males and a female - entered the home around 11:39 a.m. prompting an exchange of gunfire.
"Right now, we're treating it as a home invasion with shots fired," said Kelly.
The female victim shot the intruder, police said. She was taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The two other alleged intruders fled in a car and remain at large.
"At this point, we have two people who fled the scene. They were allegedly wearing masks and left in a vehicle. We have troopers canvassing the area looking for evidence and any people. So yeah, we'd ask neighbors to remain in their homes, stay secure and be leery of any strangers right now, " Kelly said.
Anyone with information is asked to call state police at Shickshinny at 570-542-7105.
In March 2009, authorities seized more than 40 pieces of evidence — including gallons of hydrochloric acid and drain cleaner, glass jars and funnels — and
10 guns from Muntz's Nanticoke home, according to The Citizens' Voice archives.
Muntz was charged with delivery of methamphetamine, manufacturing methamphetamine and criminal use of a communication facility in connection with the probe into the Ashley-based Outlaws Motorcycle Club, the local affiliate of a dangerous nationwide biker gang.
