Man to be charged in Buckingham Township officer-involved shooting

BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. (WPHL) — An officer shot a man in Buckingham Township after investigators say he tried to shoot the officer first.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s office says the man is in the hospital and expected to be charged when released.

According to detectives, the man crashed a van into a parked car, and aggressively followed neighbors with a weapon Saturday evening, “all while shouting politically and religiously charged statements,” said in a release from the DA’s office.

When police arrived, the man allegedly tried going after them with a gun, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon.
