The Bucks County District Attorney’s office is investigating a police shooting last night in Falls Township.

Falls Twp Chief of Police Nelson Whitney a short while ago confirmed the tips that were sent to Lower Bucks Source early Tuesday morning.

“Yes, our department was involved in a shooting last night. We are referring all media inquiries to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, as they are investigating,  said Whitney a short while ago.

Lower Bucks Source – Bucks Digital Media, LLC has reached out to the DA’s office for comment Tuesday morning.

Manuel Gamiz Spokesperson for the DA’s office said information would be released “later today.”

No information on the condition of the person who was shot has been released as of yet, and officials declined to comment on questions specific to shooting and the circumstances surrounding.

Tips sent in to LBS late last night and early this morning have conflicting information therefore the publication will hold back the information, for now, until the tipsters accounts can be confirmed.

The information we have been able to confirm is a “suspect” was shot by a Falls Twp officer.
