The two men who pleaded guilty in connection with the shooting of a Scranton Police detective in 2024 are in court Tuesday morning to be sentenced.<\/p>\n
Aiden Deininger of Old Forge, pleaded guilty to 28 criminal charges filed against him, including three counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement official. Deininger was accused of shooting into a Scranton police vehicle occupied by Deputy Chief Joseph Lafferty, Detective Kyle Gilmartin and Detective Jason Hyler on Jan. 11, 2024. Gilmartin was shot twice in the head.<\/p>\n
Jeremiah Cleveland of Mayfield, who was livestreaming on Instagram with Deininger at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty to criminal solicitation, criminal conspiracy, carrying a firearm without a license, criminal use of a communication facility and recklessly endangering another person, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Barrasse will impose the sentences.<\/p>\n
Following the shooting, Gilmartin was rushed to Geisinger Community Medical Center, where doctors performed emergency surgery. He survived, but his life was irrevocably altered.<\/p>\n
