Newtown Township police issued a shelter-in-place order for residents in the Headley development after a man, armed with a handgun, assaulted a woman and barricaded himself inside a home, prompting a SWAT response. The suspect was taken into custody without further incident, and no injuries were reported. The order was lifted and authorities declared no danger to the community. This incident followed a similar shelter-in-place request in another Bucks County community the previous day.
