Bensalem authorities put extra patrols on Monday and Tuesday nights anticipating mischief, not a triple -shooting like they are late tonight.
Police responded to a call of a fight involving a large group of juveniles at 7:35 p.m. on Halloween night. The call was upgraded to a shooting while en route to the scene at 2600 Bristol Pike at Woodbine Avenue.
When police arrived, they found three victims with gunshot wounds. All three were transported to Jefferson Torresdale for treatment, police said and their conditions remain unknown as of publication time.
Police say there was a single shooter and he fled the scene, in a vehicle north on Bristol Pike with no description given at this time.
A tipster told Lower Bucks Source they saw something fly out a passenger side —“like it was thrown” window of a dark colored “sporty looking car” moments after speeding away from Napoli’s Pizza. Authorities haven’t confirmed or denied the witness’s account.
Police are urging residents to stay away from the area as there is active investigation ongoing.
“This is an ongoing investigation, and they will release more details as they become available” Bensalem Public Safety spokesperson said.
