The 33-year-old woman sustained a head wound, and the 57-year-old man was shot in the torso and leg.
The two wounded were transported to area trauma centers.

Feeney confirmed that Ciaccia was the 57-year-old man’s son-in-law.
The 57-year-old man had previously lived at the Quickset Road home, but the 57-year-old man was separated from his wife, Feeney said.
Investigators believe a dispute occurred between the two men, leading to shots being fired inside the home. One of the men then went outside and fired back into the residence, Feeney told LevittownNow.com.

The 33-year-old woman is suspected of being caught in the crossfire.
“There was some kind of dispute at some point, and both people pulled weapons and shots were fired,” Feeney said, adding that it appears both men fired handguns.

The 57-year-old man’s estranged wife was not injured and was not in the same part of the home at the time of the shooting.

Feeney noted it did not appear that the 57-year-old man went to the home with the intent of firing a gun.
Detectives from Middletown Township police and the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office executed a search warrant on the home and spent hours processing the scene.

Feeney assured the public that the incident was isolated and there is no ongoing threat to the community.
Patrol officers, along with responders from surrounding townships, medics and firefighters, quickly arrived at the scene and provided aid to all three victims.
