As of Monday, the man remained hospitalized, said Larry King, spokesperson for the district attorney’s office. A source told LevittownNow.com the man was hit several times and had numerous gunshot injuries.
King said the man’s name was not being released because a criminal investigation remains ongoing.
Township officers were called to the home for an unreleased incident and encountered the man with a firearm. Officers ordered him to drop the gun before opening fire, authorities said.

Bucks County Detectives were handling the investigation. King said officer-involved shootings are investigated by the county as procedure. He said the district attorney will determine whether use of deadly force was justified.
