Bristol Township police are investigating two shootings that happened this week.
The first shooting happened Tuesday around 11:20 p.m. when a 24-year-old man was shot in the area of Jangood Place. The victim, a Bristol resident, was listed Thursday in stable condition after being struck in his left arm by a single bullet, police said in a statement. Lt.

“We have very few details to go on in the first shooting,” Hughes told LevittownNow.com.
The second shooting happened Wednesday around 7 p.m. near the 2400 block of Airacobra Street in the Bloomsdale-Fleetwing section. Officers were called for a possible shooting and quickly discovered the victim, a 35-year-old Levittown resident, who was taken to the hospital for a gunshot wound to the foot. The victim said he was shot by an unknown man in a hoodie. The victim remains in the hospital and is recovering, Hughes said.
“It’s early but no witnesses. At 7 p.m. at night, I know there were people around,” the lieutenant said.

Detectives are reviewing police camera footage from the Bloomsdale-Fleetwing section for clues. The section is filled with utility pole-mounted cameras that feed directly to the police station.
Hughes said his hunch is the two shootings aren’t connected.
