Update 8 p.m
Investigators on the scene have told reportedly residents of the Birch Valley community that a subject has been arrested in connection with Sunday evenings “drive-by”shooting ” that occurred around 4 p.m with one man being treated for a gunshot wound to his upper arm area (original story below).
A second source, who asked not to be identified, observed medics treating the mans wounds in front of Buttonwood Lane residence where gun fire was reportedly exchanged. What appears to be evidence markers for shell casings are seen scattered in images sent exclusively to Lower Bucks Source a short time ago.
