On Tuesday, a Bristol Township officer responded to the 100 block of Violetwood Drive where a man taking out his trash reported a silver vehicle, possibly a Pontiac Grand Prix or similar vehicle, pulled up to him. The passenger side window of the vehicle rolled down and what the man believed to a paintball gun was fired, police said. Blue paint was reportedly observed at the scene.
After the reports, police checked the surrounding areas and did not find the suspect(s).
