An off-duty New Jersey police officer remains barricaded inside his estranged wife’s house where he has been sporadically shooting at police since around 2pm today.
Richard Klementovich, 42, an officer with Clifton police department, is alone in the Doylestown, Pennsylvania, property and has 2,000 rounds of ammunition and multiple weapons, including rifles and sniper guns.
Neighbours were told to stay in their homes, preferably hiding in their basements with doors locked and shades drawn. Some were told to evacuate.

Police from various departments including Clifton, and SWAT teams are trying to negotiate with the gunman. According to ABC News, officers have been told that if they get a clear shot at him they should take it.
‘We don’t want to incite this gentleman any more than he is,’ said Pennridge Regional Police chief Dave Mettin.

‘We’re hoping for a successful end with the safety of residents . . . officers and Mr Klementovich.’
A bitter divorce battle may be the motive for the shooting.
Police said Mr Klementovich contacted his wife, Jill, earlier on Sunday to meet her and their two children elsewhere but instead of meeting them, he entered his wife’s empty home and barricaded himself inside.
According to Philly.com, Mr Klementovich had sent a text to his wife threatening to kill himself before he started firing at police.
Doylestown police were called to 25 Bittersweet Drive at 1.44pm for a ‘neighbour dispute’ but minutes after they arrived, Mr Klementovich started firing at officers.
Mr Mettin said the shots struck one officer, two police cars and an armored personnel carrier. The injured officer has been identified as Cpl. C. William Doucette from Doylestown Borough.
Mr Doucette was struck in the face with shrapnel after a bullet had struck a curb. He was taken to hospital but has been released.
Neighbours Richard and Marie Enright said they heard two bursts of gunfire, the first around 2.30pm and the second about 4pm.
They said that after the first round of shots police knocked on their door and told them to leave.
‘I heard 10 to 20 shots,’ Mr Richard Enright told Philly.com.
The neighbourhood was filled with police cars and SWAT vans.
