A suspect is now in custody after shooting a police chief during an hours-long standoff in Bucks County on Wednesday, 8/18. Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub says that 24-year-old Colin Petroziello will be charged with attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and other offenses. It started after 11 a.m. at the Yardley Commons apartment complex near South Main Street in Yardley. Two probation officers went to check on Petroziello which turned into an argument. The officers called for assistance and Yardley Borough Police Chief Joseph Kelly responded to the call. He was shot in the hand and ear by a shotgun when he entered the apartment. Kelly was taken to St. Mary Medical Center and is expected to be ok. Police told residents to shelter-in-place and a nearby daycare was evacuated. The standoff lasted until after 4 p.m. when SWAT teams entered the apartment and took Petroziello into custody.

The YBPD confirm that Chief Kelly was shot in the line of duty. The Chief is conscious and doing well. We thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this time.
