A former volunteer firefighter will stand trial on charges that he held four firefighters hostage at gunpoint last month, firing one shot into a wall before surrendering an hour later.
Twenty-five-year-old Paul Jordan appeared at a preliminary hearing Tuesday in Montgomery County on the charges.
He was ordered to go to trial on the charges which include kidnapping, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and weapons offenses, according to court documents.
Officials said Jordan had been in a dispute with the fire department and had been fired the night before. Authorities allege that he held the victims March 31 in the basement of LaMott Fire Company, about 10 miles north of downtown Philadelphia. No one was injured.
