The night of chaos began around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 23 at the Penn Valley Elementary School on North Turn Lane in Levittown, where four people were stabbed during an altercation between two groups, Falls Township police said.

The victims, three of whom were minors, were taken to local hospitals, where they are expected to survive, police said.

Then around 11:45 p.m., officers were called to the 100 block of Willow Drive in Levittown on a report of a shooting, they said.

Police said someone had fired multiple shots into an occupied home, which was approximately a mile away from the elementary school, a digital map shows.

No injuries were reported in the shooting.

"The preliminary investigation has led investigators to suspect that these incidents are related," Falls Township police said in a Wednesday, Aug. 24 Facebook post.

Now, police are asking for the public's help with any information on what could've led to these incidents.

"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 added.
