Two of the four people stabbed were badly injured, but they are expected to survive. Two others suffered less serious injuries. Those stabbed were three juveniles and one adult, police said.
As of late Wednesday afternoon, a police official said a lack of cooperation from the people involved in the late Tuesday night and Wednesday morning incidents was slowing the investigation.
By Wednesday night, police were seeking home surveillance footage and tips that may help them.

“As such violence is intolerable and offensive in our community, we are asking residents of the areas surrounding both locations to provide any information that they may possess. Specifically, we believe that the involved subject(s) may have been captured by home surveillance or Ring doorbell footage in the area of Willow Drive or North Turn Lane,” police said in a statement.
Sometime between 9 p.m. and 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, two groups became involved in a fight at Penn Valley Elementary School on North Turn Lane in Falls Township’s Levittown section.
