PLAINS TWP. &#8211; A neighbor dispute about shoveling snow may have resulted in a double murder-suicide in the first block of West Bergh Street Monday morning.
				Police responded to the quiet and well-kept street for multiple gunshots just before 9 a.m.
				Neighbors outside shoveling snow who witnessed the shooting said they heard screaming quickly followed by eight to 12 gunshots. One neighbor said the gunfire came from two different firearms, which was confirmed by Luzerne County First Assistant District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce.
				&ldquo;We have at least two victims, three bodies in total in an apparent murder-suicide. It was a dispute among neighbors,&rdquo; Sanguedolce said, noting the victims are husband and wife.
				Authorities identified the victims as James J. Goy Jr., and his wife, Lisa Ann Goy, while the gunman was identified as Jeffrey Spaide, 47.
				The body of Lisa Ann Goy was found in the middle of the street and the body of James J. Goy Jr. was between parked vehicles in front of their residence at 15/13 W. Bergh St.
				Spaide&rsquo;s body was found inside his residence at 6 W. Bergh St. Their homes are across from each other.
				Tarps were placed over the two bodies found outside. A snow shovel was next to the woman&rsquo;s body.
				While Police Chief Dale Binker said the shooting was over a dispute about snow shoveling, Sanguedolce said it is too early to say what led to the double murder-suicide.
				&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t reached any conclusions to what happened here on West Bergh Street. It is an active investigation,&rdquo; Sanguedolce said.
				One neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous said he was outside shoveling snow with his dog when he heard the gunshots. He quickly got his dog inside and called 911.
				Other neighbors reported the same, they were outside shoveling and heard screaming and gunshots. Another neighbor near the scene said she rushed to get her children inside her house and not to look out the windows.
				&ldquo;We can confirm a pistol was used and a long gun. We haven&rsquo;t been able to yet confirm the type of long gun that was used,&rdquo; Sanguedolce said.
				Police initially closed a small section of West Bergh Street before expanding the crime scene to an unmarked alley with the arrival of the Luzerne County Coroner&rsquo;s Office and a trooper with the state police Forensic Services Unit.
				Binker said there has not been any trouble on West Bergh Street in the past.
				&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a quiet street, we&rsquo;ve never had any problems here,&rdquo; Binker said.
