Man barricaded in vehicle in West Rockhill: Bucks County DA
The Bucks County District Attorney's Office has confirmed a police incident is underway involving a person barricaded in a vehicle in West Rockhill.
DA spokesman Manuel Gamiz said it was not confirmed as an active shooter situation. He also did not have a location for the police activity.
The incident is being handled by Pennridge Regional Police.
The incident is believed to be in the area of the Naceville Hotel, with a bar and restaurant on Ridge Road, in Sellersville, where they posted on Facebook that everyone inside was safe.
According to a post on the Naceville Hotel Facebook page, "we are safe and sound at the Naceville hotel!!! It's been a crazy day thank you." The hotel dates back to 1843 in this rural part of Upper Bucks County.
"All we know is that the car (with the suspect) drove by and then about a hundred police cars drove by," a Naceville employee who answered the phone at about 2:45 Wednesday afternoon said.
The employee added that she and other staff had been in the restaurant all day when she was interrupted by who she later identified as a Pennsylvania State Trooper.
"We'll be out of your hair pretty soon," the officer was heard saying to the employee.
"It looks like they're packing it up now," the employee said when she returned.
North Penn Now is reporting that numerous SWAT officers and police departments are staging near the hotel. Witnesses online reported a man was shooting out his car window on Ridge Road near a construction zone shortly around noon, according to online news site.
Ridge Road in the area of County Line and Allentown roads is reported closed to traffic at 1 p.m.
