Delaware State Police have taken into custody two individuals from Pennsylvania on weapons-related felony charges after investigating reports of gunfire Tuesday evening near the Claymont Transit Center.
Officers responded around 6:30 p.m. on March 31, 2026, to the transit facility on Transit Center Drive following calls about shots being fired in the area. Law enforcement intercepted a Kia Soul departing from a service road adjacent to the railroad tracks.
The vehicle’s occupants were identified as 58-year-old Robert Morrison, who was driving, and 35-year-old Cori Morrison, age 35, both residents of Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania. During questioning, the pair told officers they had been engaging in target practice activities near the Delaware River.
A search of their vehicle uncovered two concealed loaded handguns along with additional ammunition. Police investigation subsequently determined that Robert Morrison has a previous felony conviction on his record, which legally bars him from owning or possessing firearms.
Both individuals were taken into custody peacefully and transported to Troop 1 for processing.
Robert Morrison faces multiple charges including two counts of Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited (Felony) and Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon (Felony). He appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 3 for arraignment and was released on his own recognizance.
Cori Morrison was charged with Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon (Felony), also appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 3, and was likewise released on her own recognizance.
