Members of the U.S. Marshal Service’s Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force were in Bristol Borough and Bristol Township Thursday searching for two men wanted for attempted homicide.
Jonathan Black, 21, of Bristol Township, and Jordan Jones, 17, of Bristol Township, are wanted by federal agents and local police as suspects in the Sunday, June 3 robbery and shooting at Corson and Headley Streets that left an 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the face.

Police said the suspect survived the shooting.
Supervisory Deputy Marshal Robert Clark said both suspects are considered armed and dangerous.
Bristol Borough police were first dispatched for shots fired and a car racing away on Pine Street on the night of June 3. While at the scene, they were called for a man with a gunshot wound who had been dropped off at Lower Bucks Hospital.
